After adding GPS coordinates to your floor plan, you can upload 360° photos according to their GPS data to a georeferenced sheet on the Web Editor in a few steps.


How to manually upload 360° images onto a floorplan in the Web Editor according to their GPS coordinates

  1. Add GPS information (longitude and latitude) to your floor plan on your Web Editor.
    ​

  2. Open a folder on your PC which contains one or multiple georeferenced 360° photos.
    ​
    ​Please note that only 360° photos that contain GPS data can be automatically organized on the floor plans. These images can be captured with a 360 camera while connected to the camera's native application on a mobile device or by a drone for instance. Most 360° cameras do not collect the GPS coordinates by themselves.

  3. Drag and drop the 360° photos from your desktop into the sheet map (section showing your floorplan) HoloBuilder's Web Editor and the photos will automatically organize themselves on the floor plan.
    ​
    ​Please note that, as for now, this feature is only available for 360° photos and therefore won't work for 2D photos.
