4 Geng Started

4.1 CareandTransportaon

nFlexijet 3D's moulded plastic carrying case is

designed to protect Flexijet during transportation.

The Flexijet should always be transported in this case,

with the power off.

nThe Measurement Head automatically locks and unlocks

when Flexijet is Powered ON and OFF.

nIt is preferable that Flexijet 3D is operated in dry indoor

spaces. Flexijet 3D can certainly be used in

outdoor scenarios with the aid of the red glasses.

Do not use Flexijet in damp weather, especially

during persistent rainfall.

nProtect Flexijet from dust and other jobsite

hazards.

nThe laser and camera lenses should be regularly inspected

for dust and debris, and cleaned with a soft microbre cloth

(such as an Eyeglass cloth).

4.2 SengUpFlexijet3DHardware

nExtend the carbon bre tripod to the required height

(normally 1 full extension of the tripod legs).

nOptional: Set up the auxiliary tripod at the desired height,

attaching the desk plate.

nSet the Flexijet head unit on the tripod. Hold the Flexijet

securely with one hand and screw the mounting screw

into the Flexijet.

nVerify that the Flexijet is securely mounted, and can spin

freely horizontally. You may now power on Flexijet.

5.4 Measureaddionalcountertopareas

nAuto-Level Flexijet in every new location. If you are moving to a new

location using Repositioning/3D Locations to relocate Flexijet in

relation to the original position, Auto-leveling may be selected as

part of the ‘Resume location’ function. To learn more Repositioning,

visit www.myexijet.info

nNow, use ‘Align to object’ (simple placement) to orient your the new

canvas area by measuring a point on the left and right of the back

wall or cabinets. Note: be sure to use ‘Align to object’ on additional

countertop areas, as the ‘Align’ function will now rotate all your

folders/sheets.

nSelect the Root folder (Home folder, often named

‘Kitchen’) from the Project Explorer by clicking on its

text. (Don’t check the checkbox for this, select the

folder by clicking on the text of the name)

nFrom the ‘Measurement’ tab, select ‘Countertop’ and name your

new countertop, and measure the point to set the horizontal plane

of your new countertop surface.

n When switching between countertops, ensure that

the correct folder is selected (active) in the Project

Explorer before measuring. Select a folder by clicking

on the text of the folder.

5.5 AddingBacksplash

nIn Flexijet Stone, Select the

‘Measurement Tab’

nSelect the ‘Backsplash” button

nFrom the backsplash dialog window, enter

the ‘Height’ of the backsplash, and the ‘Offset’

(how far from the countertop the backsplash

will be drawn) and click 'OK'

nTap or click to select the left point where

you would like your backsplash to begin,

then tap the point on the right

nYour backsplash will now be created in

the area!

5.2 GengStarted:Auto-Level

nSelect ‘Auto Levelling’ on the screen of the Flexijet, or in the

Software to automatically level Flexijet 3D.

Always Auto-Level the Flexijet every time you begin a

measurement, or move the Flexijet to a new location!

nOPTIONAL: Use ‘Align to Object’ to align the Flexijet to a wall or bank of

cabinets with 2 points, among other options. Follow the command prompts.

NOTE: The ‘Align to Object’ command should only be used BEFORE you

begin measuring. To rotate the view of a drawing afterwards, use the

'Align' button in Flexijet Stone, or 'Horizontal Alignment' in FlexiCAD.

5.3 Measure a Countertop

nIn Flexijet Stone, go to the ‘Measurement’ ribbon and click/tap the

‘Countertop’ button. Name the Countertop folder, and press ‘OK

Note: This button is a 'shortcut’ that creates a project (root folder),

and a horizontal plane folder simultaneously. These can also be

created separately.

nNow, the Command Window will display, ‘Please measure a point on the

countertop’. Aim the Flexijet at the surface

of the countertop/cabinets to be measured

and activate the measurement button to

set the horizontal plane. Note: simply swipe

the measurement sensor to measure the point,

no need to activate the 'points' function before

measuring this point.

nWhen completed, the command line will

display ‘Folder Countertop Active’, and the Project

Explorer will display the Root folder (Kitchen) and

the Countertop Folder that was just created, with

the Countertop folder selected (text bold).

nMeasure the countertops. Use ‘Multiple lines’ to

measure straight sections, measuring 2 points

on each straight section. For walls and other

surfaces that may bow in and out, use ‘Polyline’

or ‘Iines’ to measure (scribe) with multiple

points on the surfaces.

nRemember: Measure the opposing surface

or plane of the horizontal plane you created.

That is, measure on the vertical surfaces of

the cabinet sides and the wall around the

countertop. Use targets as required when

surfaces are not visible.



12 13

5.7 Measuringawall

nIf measuring only a wall: In the

‘Measurement’ ribbon, click on ‘New

Project’. This is different from measuring

countertops because the ‘Countertop’

button creates a project folder for you

automatically! This will make a root/

project folder in the File Explorer.

nNow, click the ‘New Folder’ button. The

New Folder dialog window will pop up,

allowing you to name the new folder

and choose the type of plane. For

vertical surfaces, select the vertical

plane button on this window.

nYou will be prompted to measure

2 points to set the vertical surface

to set the plane – on the face towards

the left, and on the face towards the

right. These 2 points should be as far

apart horizontally as possible.

nYour folder structure will show the created

folder, with the Vertical Plane icon.

nNow, measure the geometry into this

wall using Multiple Lines and Polylines.

Similar to how a countertop is measured

but on a vertical plane, measure the

surfaces that intersect to the wall to

capture the outside shape of the wall

with Multiple Lines for straight sections,

and Polylines/Lines for scribed sections.

Each measured point will be attened

perpendicularly to the vertical plane.

nFor additional walls, click back on the root

(Project) folder, and follow the steps above

to create the folder and set the plane for each additional wall.

nTo measure the elevation of a wall manually, use

'Distance Point to Plane' and measure on the surface

of the wall. A measurement point with a distance

between that point and the set plane will be drawn on

screen.

nTo scan a wall (digitize hatch), see www.myexijet.info

5.6 MeasuringFull-heightBacksplash

With countertop measured:

nClick on the ‘Backsplash’ button on the measurement ribbon

nDeselect the ‘Add backsplash to

countertop’ section, and select the ‘Create

Full-Height Layer (full-height) section. Also,

name your backsplash

nClick on the left side point of the Full-

Height backsplash area. You may also

measure this point with Flexijet by aiming

and capturing a point on the full-height

backsplash area.

nThen, click on the right side point of

the Full-Height backsplash area. You

may also measure this point with Flexijet

by aiming and capturing a point on the full-height backsplash area.

nYou have now created your Full-height

backsplash folder. You must select that folder

from the Project Explorer by clicking on it

before proceeding to measure that area. Newly

measured elements will always be created within

the active folder.

nWhen measuring full-height

backsplash, be sure to measure to the

edges of the surface to be measured.

For example, to measure the top edge

of the Full-height at the underside of

the cabinets, it is typical to measure

on the underside of the cabinets

themselves. Follow the same principles as measuring a countertop, but on

the Vertical plane.

nTo create additional Full-Height backsplash folders, simply select the

‘Countertop’ or other corresponding folder and again use the ‘backsplash’

button to create another vertical folder

Note: To measure Full-Height Backsplash without measuring countertops

at the same time, create a Project Folder before selecting the 'Backsplash'

function.
