Tips for Accurate Room Building

  1. Measure your room - Use a tape measure for accurate dimensions

  2. Start with walls - Draw the outline first, then add details

  3. Position furniture where it blocks detection - This helps identify dead zones

  4. Place the device accurately - Tracking visualization depends on correct device position

  5. Use the grid - Enable snap grid for cleaner, aligned layouts
