vSite Scan: User Guide

If you're using vSite exclusively for 3D scanning, you can quickly access this feature without opening vSite AR. Below is the step by step workflow:

Getting Started

1. Open the vSite Scan application. You’ll be greeted by the main scanner screen.
2. Before scanning, let’s review the three available scan modes:
   Normal: Lets you manually start and stop each scan, review the results, and submit them when you're satisfied. This mode provides full control over processing and submission.
   Continuous: Enables seamless, continuous scanning with a single button press, optimizing the process for large areas.
   Point Cloud: Generates a point cloud only (unlike the other two modes, which also create a 3D mesh). This mode is ideal for capturing thin objects, such as cables crossing a trench.

Scanning Process

1. Tap the red button to begin scanning.
2. As you scan a surface, any red-highlighted areas will disappear, indicating that the area has been successfully captured. Note: In Point Cloud mode, you will see individual points collected by the scanner.
3. Once the scan is complete, you’ll see a preview of your scan.

Processing & Uploading

If you used Normal or Continuous mode, you can process the scan to enhance its quality. To upload your scan:

1. Log in using the login button in the top-left corner.
2. Select the team where the scans will be stored.
3. Press "Upload to vSite".
4. Your scan will be available in vSite AR and vSite Web within 30-45 seconds.

Reviewing & Managing Scans

To review previous scans, tap the "Scans" button. You can re-upload or reprocess scans as needed. If you're not satisfied with a scan or need to capture more data, you can rescan the area. This streamlined workflow ensures fast, accurate, and efficient 3D scanning with vSite Scan.
