Prepare the site before scanning to avoid obstacles and make sure you can walk freely throughout the area. This improves the quality of the scanned data.
Open all doors and, if possible, keep them open during scanning. Use the wooden wedges supplied in the box to prop doors open and prevent them from closing during the scan.
Turn on all available lights and open window coverings such as curtains and blinds to maximize natural and artificial lighting. Lighting matters — poor lighting can reduce the quality and accuracy of visual data, including panoramic images and point cloud colorization.
If you are using alignment markers or surveyed control points in the scan, record where they are on the scan site.
Remove or move any obstacles that might block your scanning path, so you can move smoothly and without interruption throughout the scanning area.
Move or conceal any confidential or sensitive materials from view to protect privacy and confidentiality. The scan captures anything that is visible.
Make sure all batteries installed in the scanning device, including spare batteries, are fully charged before you start the scan.
Verify that the microSD card is correctly inserted into its slot and ready to receive data.
Bring any materials you need, such as floor plans and scanning routes, to help with project planning and execution.
