Depending on the construction stage and size of the building, Siteaware recommends the following locations for the capture of the 360 panoramas:
Pre-Construction & Site Improvement Phase:
A total of five (5) panoramas should be captured, 1 at each corner of the site boundary for a total of 4 panoramas and an additional panorama taken from the center of the site similar to the following guide:
Note: The center capture point location may vary depending on the building structure.
Core Phase:
Elevation:
The panoramas should be taken at a 45° angle from the deck (i.e. the elevation should be taken at the same distance as the offset from the structure)
Locations:
The 360s should be taken at the corners of the structure. Below are a few examples based on the size and shape of the building.
For a square building:
For a long rectangular building:
For a building with a courtyard:
OR
For an L-Shaped Building:
For a building with an irregular shape, capture points should be located at each corner. For example:
Shell Phase (While Core is Ongoing):
Elevation:
Panorama elevations should be lowered 50% to capture more of the facade. (i.e. only raise the drone 5ft for every 10ft offset from the building)
Locations:
The 360s should still be taken at the corners of the structure as noted above.
