Start a new property

Setting up a property takes about a minute: the address, the report type, the property type, the wall thickness and the first level. Do it at the property, so location checks pass.

1. Start

On My Properties, tap the green + at the top, or Scan in the bar at the bottom. Both open the same setup.

2. Enter the address

1. Start typing the street address and tap the matching suggestion. On site, you can tap Use my current location instead.
2. Tap Continue.
3. Check each field on Confirm Address. Add Apt/Suite or Level if there is one.
4. Tap Confirm Address.

Get the house number and ZIP right now. Changing either later counts as a different property, and on a UAD 3.6 property that uses another scan credit. Fixing a typo in the street name or unit is free.

3. Choose the report type

Pick one and tap Start. If you choose UAD 3.6 with no credits left, BoxLi offers to unlock it, or you can tap Use Floor Plan instead (free). You can buy credits on Billing in the dashboard.

4. Pick the property type

Tap Single Family Detached, then Continue. Condominium, Townhouse, Manufactured Home, Multi-Family, Planned Unit Development and Cooperative are marked Coming Soon.

5. Choose where to start (UAD 3.6 only)

BoxLi asks Where are you starting?

• Unit Interior: the LiDAR scan first, then the interior walkthrough.
• Dwelling Exterior: the property, site and outside of the house first.

Pick either one and tap Start the Inspection. The UAD 3.6 inspection guide covers both routes. Floorplan & Photo Manager skips this step and goes straight to the scan.

6. Set the exterior wall thickness

BoxLi uses this to work out outside dimensions from your interior scan. Drag the slider to match the walls. The default is 6 inches, and it goes from 4 to 14 inches in quarter-inch steps. A door jamb on an exterior wall is the easiest place to check. Tap Continue to Scan.

7. Add your first level

Scroll the wheel to the level you are standing on, usually 1st Level, and tap Add Level. Below-grade levels are listed as Basement 1, Basement 2 and so on. On a UAD 3.6 property, a basement also asks for Grade Level Type: Fully Below Grade or Partially Below Grade.

The LiDAR scan opens next. Carry on with Scan a level.
