Introduction

To conduct a survey, calibration is required. The accurate calibration creates more precise survey results.

Note: The step for calibrating is not required for Outdoor Capture (beta) plans.

Tip: for accurate calibration

For best practice, select two points from corner to corner within the captured area. By doing so, the alignment between tracked positions and the floor plan shows high accuracy.

  • If the area is too large, set the calibration distance as far as you can, preferably halfway to the second corner at least

  • If any misalignment or scale error happens, the adjustment is done in the web editor after uploading the survey.
