To learn what a capture path is read Planning a 360 Capture Path for Best Results. 

The examples below show actual effective 360 capture paths for various projects in building construction, retail, petrochemical, power, tunnels and manufacturing. Each example details the following aspects:

• Use Case: As-built reality modeling for facility assessment, inspection, quality control, or progress monitoring.
• Method: 360 Hyperlapse or full-length video for capturing.
• Area of Capture: The total area or specific zones targeted for capture.
• Number of Captures: The total number of individual captures taken.
• Number of Images: Number of 360 image produced.
• Average Capture Rate: The average rate in ft2/min.

A structured approach helps in planning and executing capture paths that meet project requirements for thorough documentation and analysis.
