you can specifically create the scan project first:

.
2. Tap
Add Project
.
3. Enter a project name.
4. Tap
OK
. The project is created.
5. Tap home icon (
) to return to home screen.
Start capturing by one of the following:
•
Tap the (
)button in the app.
•
Press the center button on top of Freestyle 2. (Tip: You can start scanning with this button no matter
what the app currently shows.)
After a few seconds, a window appears with the 3D Point Cloud View. The Freestyle 2 tries to find a
starting point for the scan. To do this, it needs to scan an area with features that it can identify. If you
start to scan an area that is mostly featureless (for example, a white wall), this may be difficult. In this
case, move to an area with more features and continue.
