Tips for Better Uploads
Images
- Good lighting – Clear, well-lit photos help Sammy see details
- Multiple angles – Capture different views of the work area
- Include scale reference – A tape measure or known object helps with dimensions
- Label if possible – Add notes about what's shown in each photo
Videos
- Keep it steady – Slow, stable footage is easier to analyse
- Narrate – Talk through what you're showing
- Cover the whole area – Pan across the full scope of work
- Keep it short – Focus on relevant details
Documents
- Clear scans – Ensure plans are legible
- Correct orientation – Rotate documents to the right orientation before uploading
- Name files clearly – Use descriptive file names
Troubleshooting Uploads
If uploads fail, check:
- File size – Ensure files are within the limits
- File format – Verify it's a supported type
- Internet connection – Large files need a stable connection
