How To Prepare For a 3D Scan
By addressing these items in your checklist, you'll further enhance the quality of the 3D scan and create an exceptional virtual tour of your property.
Cleanliness is Key
Ensure your house is immaculately clean. Our advanced capture technology gets every detail, so a spotless environment is essential for the best results. Clean top to bottom, remove any clutter, and pay extra attention to floors, surfaces, and windows.
Allow Sufficient Time
Plan for ample time during the scanning process. Depending on your home's size, it can take several hours to complete. To ensure a thorough and accurate scan, grant your technician 1-3 hours at the property without interruptions. (Your virtual page will be ready the very next day)
Clear
Away
Ensure that all pathways, hallways, and entryways are free of obstacles. Clear away any furniture, objects, or items that may obstruct the path or impede access to rooms. This step will facilitate a smooth scanning process, allowing for a seamless walkthrough experience in the final 3D model.
Turn On All Lights
To ensure the scan captures the space at its best, turn on all interior and exterior lights, including lamps and overhead fixtures. Well-lit rooms provide a more inviting and detailed 3D Virtual Tour.
Allow natural light
Open all curtains or blinds to let in natural light. This enhances the overall brightness and appeal of the scan.
Room
Access
Make sure that all rooms are accessible and not locked. Check that doors, including closets and utility rooms, are open and easy to enter. This ensures a comprehensive scan of the entire property.
Secure
Pets
If you have pets, it's best to secure them in a safe and quiet area during the scan. This prevents them from moving through the scan area, which can result in inconsistencies in the 3D model.
Exterior Preparations
Ensure the yard is well-maintained, remove any debris, and consider seasonal enhancements like mowing the lawn, shoveling snow, or arranging outdoor furniture attractively.
Hide Personal Items
It is advisable to tuck away personal items such as family photos, sensitive documents, and valuable items. This helps maintain privacy and ensures a clean, professional appearance.
Consider Staging
This can work wonders for your property. It not only enhances the overall appeal of your home but also makes your 3D Virtual Scan look even more impressive. Inquire with our team about staging services.
Special Requests
Provide our team with any essential property information or unique features that you'd like to highlight during the scan. This could include special finishes, fixtures, or recent renovations.
Notify Neighbors
While not always necessary, it can be courteous to inform your neighbors about the scan in case the camera's equipment is visible from their property.
