Let us discuss each option in detail below:
Images
This option downloads all panoramic images from the tour.
All you have to do now is to unzip the zip file and all panoramic images should then appear on your drive.
Downloading these images is useful if you wish to edit the images on a photo editing software, for marketing or for back-up purposes and many more suited to your needs.
Cubic Images
This option downloads square cut-out screenshots for each room or area in the tour.
Clicking on this option downloads a zip file called cubic_images.zip.
Upon unzipping the zip file, you will notice different folders corresponding to their respective floors.
Downloading cubic images is useful for documentation, marketing and communication purposes. Of course its use isn’t just limited to that.
You may use these images according to how you see fit!
Comment Images
Comment images are images taken to give emphasis, documentation or details on a specific portion of the area or room on a tour.
Usually used for documentation and information purposes.
These can be added in two ways, through the mobile app as discussed in Course 2 Lesson 5 or through the Desktop Portal as discussed in this Course under editing a tour.
However, let’s assume you now have images placed in comments, let’s then discuss on how to download them.
Clicking on the Comment images option to download downloads a zip file titled poi_images.zip into your drive.
Unzip the file and several folders relative to the number of floors with Comment images on your tours will appear as shown below:
And just like Cubic Images, clicking on the floors would display another list of folders that represents each room/image on that floor or area.
Here, ladies and gentlemen is an example of the Comment image located in that room.
Sketches
This option downloads Sketches in jpeg and png formats. Note that this download version has no measurements on the sketches.
Clicking on this option downloads a zip file with that looks like this.
All you have to do here is unzip the file.
Sketches with Measurements
This next option downloads the Sketches with measurements on them.
Clicking on the option downloads a zip file that should look like this:
And just like the previous topic, extracting the images from the zip file would display both jpeg and png sketch images for each floor.
Xactimate ® Sketches
This option downloads Xactimate ® Sketches. This is an “.ESX” file you can use in Xactimate.
Clicking on this option downloads a zip file looking like this:
You get an Xactimate file in .ESX format which you may use on their platform.
All Sketches in One Archive
This option allows downloading all Sketch file types in one zip file.
Just like all the other download topics, this also downloads a zip file that should look like this:
Unzipping the file would then extract all files from the regular sketches to sketches with measurements and even the exactimate files.
Comment CSV Export
This option downloads Comment Content links organized in a .csv format. Now for those curious, .csv files are spreadsheet files that may be opened in office type programs like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
Clicking this option downloads the .csv file directly into your drive.
You may open this file on Excel, Google Sheets or any software that opens and displays CSV files.
Typically this is how it would look like:
Here’s a closer look:
Notice how in this long line here, it is organized as name, description, url and type.
This CSV document holds all Comment content text, video and image types.
To access these, all you have to do is copy and paste the link on the line of text.
The paste it on your browser’s address bar.
