Floor Plan Alignment
After scanning the QR code, tap 'Align the floorplan.' If not ready, do it later by clicking the blue '+' in map utilities. Use 'Anchor' to position 6 pegs on the 2D floorplan, ensuring they match identifiable spots in your space. Scale and move for precision, staying within 10 meters of the QR code. Scan after each peg.
Additional Access Points
To add additional access points, secondary QR codes and Image Access Points (IAPs) can be added to your map. Print additional QR codes from the Map Details page in the Creator Portal. To activate these access points, open the map in edit content mode with the map utilities. These additional access points provide a way for users to enter and increase the accuracy of their map experience. Boost your augmented reality journey with these seamless additions!
