Thanks for the video. I’m just getting started and trying to figure out what kind of devices I will need. Do you use a laptop? In addition to your iPad? Or is this a complete solution? Thank you.
I'm literally brand new at this hired on as an Outside Adjuster for an insurance company. They don't teach how to use x8 mobile but I invested in the iPad Pro 12.9 and just got it set up. Haven't even used it on a live claim yet. But I already feel it's a game changer. This is my last week riding with a mentor then I'm on my own. First ride along a guy was using an engineering pad to sketch then go back to the office and then use X8. The next ride along with another mentor used their desktop x8 and walked back and forth using their laser to measure each wall and manually sketching. Then I watched a CZcams video of a guy using the laser and the X8 mobile but he'd sketch then use laser to auto adjust the measurements. Now watching your video... 😮
If you're measuring a 20 unit condo complex, do you actually think this is faster than old school laser measuring and taking pencil sketches. Asking as an 18 year flood adjuster.
Yes definitely faster…..gonna be slower at first but after you get through the learning curve you will speed up. Usually your condos are the same just mirrored. I have a good friend that just got his RCBAP and he wants me to train him to speed up his learning curve…..time is money!!!
This is honestly insane and completely changes the game of interior sketches!
This was very insightful thank you for sharing this information!
Thank you so much! Please please keep doing these. They are extremely helpful!!
🔥🔥🔥 valuable video !!
Amazing ty
When you are sketching your fourth wall you can click a spot on the ground and drag it all the way over to connect it to your existing walls.
Good info I will give it a try!!!
What exactly is needed to do this? I’m new to using xactimate and this seems so much more efficient than sketching by hand and translating to laptop
New Sub here!!!
Can you do a video on using the LIDAR on a peaked and sloped ceiling? I had one the other day and I couldn't get it to take the measurements
I have another video measuring cabinets and ceilings on my channel
Hey Durl, could you do a video where you take and label photos with the speaker button in each photo. Appreciate it.
Yes I will work on that!!!
This is a great video, thank you! How long would it take you to do this many rooms if you weren't narrating, and just "gettin' the job done"? Thanks!
I can sketch a house and label photos in about 30 min
Awsome video! Did you teach yourself by trial and error or is there some training available online? Thank you!

I use a laptop to write my estimates
@@darrelldouglas9589with the apple ipad keyboard or pencil could be done just as quick
Can you do a video on how to add kitchen cabinets in your sketch with the LIDR?
Yes I will work on that
@@darrelldouglas9589 thank you, it's so hard to find good training videos for sketching and I am terrible at it.

Hey thanks for the video. I literally started using Lidar today and I have the same iPad. It's fairly easy to use. Are you an insurance adjuster?
Yes adjusting for 15yrs

This is the best interior software around bar none. Is there one like this that doesn’t cost 250 a month?
Great video! Which pro do you have?
Ipad pro 11
Question I'm a new adjuster and will be investing in the iPad pro to be able to do this. Question can you do a roof with this?
You can do the exterior of the house.....but it won't do a roof but you always can get a.roof.report
@@darrelldouglas9589 what is the link? its broken.
I’m new in the business but surely that thing is off an inch or two will those few inches make me look bad when I turn the claim in?
If you don't feel comfortable you can always verify the measurements, but I use it all the time and never had a issue
I have X8 desktop can you transfer this to your desktop after the inspection. Thanks
Yes....once you have completed your scope/inspection you can send your assignment up to the cloud then pull it down to your desktop
Which camera are you using and cost? Does it work well and stable?
Just using iPad pro
@@darrelldouglas9589 I saw that the title mentioned the Lidar Camera, so that is why I thought something more was needed besides Ipad pro. Thank you

When I go to sketch, my rooms don’t snap together. Do you have trouble with this? Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
It's normal ....rooms don't have to be together, doesn't effect the estimate
Man some carriers do not allow pod sketching. Looks like these are close enough to get away with it but I'm just not sure.
