Clear photos mean more accurate 3D models, better reports, and fewer follow-ups. Use these simple steps in Plnar apps to capture the best results.

3 Quick Steps

Step 1. Brighten the space
Open blinds, turn on lights, or use a flashlight/job site lighting to maximize visibility

Step 2. Let it focus
Pause briefly before capturing so the camera sharpens the image.

Step 3. Stay steady
Hold your device level and move smoothly to reduce blur.


Extra Tips

  • Clean your lens with a soft cloth before capturing.

  • Avoid glare/shadows by adjusting your angle around mirrors or shiny surfaces.

  • Take full shots (floor to ceiling when possible).

  • Check your photos—retake anything blurry or too dark.

💡 Pro Tip: For mirrors, glass, or obstructions, capture a few extra angles.
