What is a SiteCam Project?
Before you get started, it’s important to understand how a SiteCam project works.
A SiteCam project consists of Folders. Photos you add into a SiteCam project are organized into folders (just like on your computer).
Each folder can have a plan attached to it. You have the option to attach a plan to each folder (or not). When a plan is attached you can pin photos to these plans.
A SiteCam project can have some folders with plans and some without plans. You can edit the folder structure at any time.
