Where is the best place to start?

In order to start a BLK2GO tour, the BLK2GO must first initialize itself, i.e. orient itself. To do this, place the base of the BLK2GO on a solid surface and make sure that the base is stable and cannot wobble or wobble.

Next, place the BLK2GO in the foot and press the start button. Now wait until the BLK2GO lights up green continuously.

The first tour

As soon as the BLK2GO lights up green continuously, press the start or power button for 1 second so that the scanning process starts. Hold the BLK2GO with your hand so that the BLK2GO is fixed in the stand.

Wait about 30 seconds for the BLK2GO to initialize. You can track the progress in your BLK2GO.

If your body is blocking the BLK2GO's rear view, crouch down so it can see the walls behind you.

As soon as you see a contour that is as complete as possible in the BLK2GO Live app, you can remove the BLK2GO from the stand and start the scan.

Now run your tour and record, for example, the ground floor of your building. Please read the Capture Tips and Tricks tutorial for more on scanning with the BLK2GO.

Where is a good starting point for a tour?

The starting point of the tour should be in the center of the object if possible. For example, do not start in the storage room but in the living room when capturing an apartment. Try to use a medium-sized room with the clearest possible geometries (4 walls, ceiling + floor) for this. Rooms that are full of shelves or furnishings unnecessarily complicate the initialization process.
