Inspecto Manual

Getting Started

How do I import a scan?

Use the Inspecto iOS app to scan a room with LiDAR. The scan automatically uploads to your account. You can then view it under the "Original" tab on the dashboard.

How do I create a model?

Click "New Combined Model" on the dashboard. This creates an empty canvas where you can add rooms from your scans. You can also fork an existing scan to create an editable copy.

What is the difference between a scan, model, and fork?

A scan is the original LiDAR data (read-only). A model is an editable workspace where you combine rooms, add furniture, and plan renovations. A fork is an editable copy of a scan or model.

Properties & Time Capsule

What is a property?

A property groups all scans for the same building over time. Create a property for each client/building you inspect, then assign scans to it.

How do I create a property?

Go to the Properties page (link in dashboard header). Click "New Property" and fill in name, address, client name.

How do I assign a scan to a property?

On the dashboard Original tab, each scan card has an "Assign" button. Pick an existing property or create a new one.

What is the scan timeline?

On a property detail page, all scans are listed chronologically with version numbers. You can see how long between each scan and compare changes over time.

How do rescans work?

Upload a new scan and assign it to the same property as the previous one. The timeline automatically increments the version number.

Dashboard

How do I rename a model?

Double-click the model name on its card. Type the new name and press Enter to save, or Escape to cancel.

What are the filter tabs?

How are models grouped?

Models are grouped by building (project name from the scan). You can collapse/expand each group by clicking the header.

Moisture Measurements

Green (0-12%) = Safe. Amber (12-17%) = Watch. Orange (17-22%) = Concern. Red (22%+) = Critical. Empty cells are unmeasured.

What is the health score?

A 0-100 score based on the highest moisture reading. 100 = dry, 0 = severe moisture throughout. Shown at the bottom of the moisture panel.

Can I see measurements in 3D?

Yes. Colored dots appear on the walls at the measurement positions, color-coded by severity. Green = safe, red = critical.

Risk Score & Diagnosis

What is the pre-purchase risk score?

A 0-100 score combining moisture data, inspection markers, and the 84-point checklist. Higher is better (safer to buy). Shown on the PDF report.

What does the moisture pattern diagnosis tell me?

The system analyzes moisture readings on each wall and detects patterns: rising damp (wet at bottom), penetrating damp (one side wetter), condensation (wet at top), or localized leaks. Each pattern comes with a recommendation.

How is the health score calculated?

Based on the highest moisture reading. 100 = completely dry (0%), 0 = severe moisture (30%+). Shown per room and in reports.
