Floor plans and 3D content are generated separately for each floor, so it's important to assign scans to the correct floor when capturing a property.
Adding Floors and Buildings
The Gen5 camera allows you to organise multiple floors and buildings within a single project.
How to add a floor
On the camera map, tap the floor name in the top-left corner to open the floor list
Tap + Add floor
Follow the on-screen instructions to create the new floor
Select the new floor before capturing scans on it
How to Add a Building
You can add separate buildings for structures such as garages, annexes or additional houses on the same property.
Before capturing a separate building, make sure it has been added to your project and selected on the camera. This ensures scans are assigned to the correct building.
Open the floor and building list from the camera map
Select the option to add a building
Follow the on-screen instructions to create and name the building
Select the appropriate floor within that building before scanning
Switching Between Floors and Buildings
Before capturing scans on another floor or in another building, make sure the correct location is selected on your Gen 5 camera.
On the camera map, tap the floor name in the top-left corner to open the floor and building list
Select the building and floor you want to capture
Continue scanning in the selected location
If the camera detects a change in floor level, it may display the message Floor change detected – Move scan to new floor?
Follow the on-screen instructions to assign the scan to the correct floor.
Renaming and Deleting Floors and Buildings
Rename a floor or building: Select the relevant floor or building and use the camera keyboard to update its name.
Delete a floor: A floor containing scans cannot be deleted. Move its scans to another floor or delete them before deleting the floor.
Tips for Capturing Multiple Floors and Buildings
Follow these recommendations when capturing properties with multiple floors or buildings:
Complete scanning one floor before moving to another
Keep split-level areas, half-levels and sunken rooms assigned to the same floor where appropriate
Capture staircases at the top and bottom. If the camera can be positioned safely on the stairs, capture additional scans along the staircase to support Gaussian Splat generation
Assign outdoor scans to the separate Outdoor layer rather than a building floor
When capturing multiple buildings, keep each building's floors organised separately
Note: If a scan is assigned to the wrong floor, you can move it to the correct floor using the scan management options on the camera map.
