Create new Waypoints

1238888

There are several ways to create new waypoints.

You can:

  • Set a location marker as waypoint placeholder for 360° photos and 2D photos.

  • Upload a 360° photo to create a waypoint.

  • Upload a 2D photo to create a waypoint.

Adding photos adds visual support and documents progress which may be helpful to identify critical points in a project.
