1. Establish permission and remove private details
Use photos and plans you own or have permission to process. A public listing link is not, by itself, permission to reuse its photography. Confirm the permitted use with the rights holder and follow the listing service’s rules. Do not upload a client’s financial paperwork, access codes, or unnecessary identifying information as visual reference material.
- Keep a note of who supplied the material and what use was authorized.
- Remove duplicate, unrelated, or obviously outdated images.
- Check whether visible personal items or documents should be excluded.
- Read CasaCortex’s data-handling information before adding client material.
2. Make a room-coverage checklist
Work room by room. Look for a clear view of each space and another view that helps explain how it connects to the next one. Photos that show doorways, corners, and transitions can be more useful than several near-identical close-ups. Avoid promising a fixed minimum photo count: the useful coverage depends on the property and the available evidence.
| Area | Useful evidence | Question to record |
|---|---|---|
| Living room | Wide views, window wall, entry and adjoining spaces | Which doorway leads to the kitchen? |
| Kitchen | Cabinet runs, island, doors and connection to dining | Is the passage visible from both sides? |
| Bedrooms and baths | Distinct images labeled by room | Could two photos show the same room? |
| Exterior | Front, rear and side views where authorized and available | Which elevations are missing? |
| Floor plan | Readable, correctly oriented plan with its source | Is it current, and are dimensions verified? |
3. Label what is known, inferred, and missing
Use simple file names such as kitchen-from-dining.jpg and living-room-window-wall.jpg. Keep listing facts separate from visual assumptions. If the floor plan and photos disagree, record the conflict instead of deciding silently that one must be right.
Record the property reference, source date, room labels, missing rooms, and any supplied dimensions. Treat camera perspective and wide-angle distortion as reasons to verify, not as a basis for calculating exact room sizes.
4. Review the scene against the sources
In 3D Property Studio, use the authorized source material and review the generated view before sharing it. Explore room navigation and exterior views, then compare the important openings, connections, and features with the sources. A polished scene can still contain inferred or incorrect geometry.
- Check whether the rooms you intended to review are represented.
- Compare visible doors, windows, stairs and room connections with the photos or plans.
- Mark uncertain geometry and missing areas as questions for the showing.
- Verify dimensions, condition and accessibility independently.
- Keep the reviewed view and its limitations with the client context.
If the output cannot support the discussion, improve the evidence or use the original photos. Do not describe an illustrative result as a survey, measured floor plan, inspection, or guaranteed digital twin.
Common questions
Can listing photos produce an exact 3D replica?
Not reliably by themselves. Occluded areas, perspective and missing measurements leave gaps. Treat generated scenes as illustrative and verify important details independently.
Should I upload every photo I have?
Prioritize distinct, relevant, authorized coverage. Remove duplicates, identify each room, and keep contradictory or uncertain details visible.
Can I test the viewer without starting a trial?
Yes. The public product demo includes a fictional sample with working 3D viewer controls and does not consume trial credits.
