# Exporting an iGUIDE from Survey

In Survey, confirm that your laser data is aligned as precisely as possible&#x20;

1. Once aligned, in Survey go to the **Project** page. See Figure 1.

3. Once selected you will receive the following prompt: "Export to Stitch TAR for iGUIDE Upload. IMPORTANT: If you are submitting this data for drafting, ensure adequate alignment of laser scans.“ See Figure 3. Select **OK** to begin the export.

6. Once the Export Process is complete, you will then have the option to **Download** the file from Survey (see figure 6) - this saves locally to your Smart Device file system so that you are able to create an iGUIDE “on-the-fly”. \

   **Please note**, you will need either a Mobile Data connection or a WiFi connection to do this. These files can be large (depending on how many panos taken) so if using mobile data, please make sure that you have enough data in your plan to support this.
