Packages & industry types
When you create an iGUIDE through the API, you choose a package type and an industry. These two settings determine how your iGUIDE is processed, what deliverables you can order, and which add-ons are available. Getting this right upfront saves you from hitting validation errors later. This guide covers every valid combination and helps you pick the right configuration for your use case.
Packages
The Portal API supports four package types:
| Package | API Value | What You Get | Processing Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | "standard" | Precise, manually drafted floor plans with 3D panoramic tours. RMS and ANSI compliant measurements. | ~24 hours (manual drafting)* |
| Premium | "premium" | Everything in Standard, plus VR tours and eligibility for 3D Model (Revit) deliverables. Enhanced floor plans with detailed fixtures and appliances. | ~24 hours (manual drafting)* |
| Radix | "radix" | 3D virtual tour with point cloud, no manual drafting involved. | Minutes (automated)* |
| Photos | "photos" | Gallery images only. No 3D tour, floor plans, or measurements. | Instant (no processing needed) |
Standard and Premium iGUIDEs are manually drafted by the iGUIDE team — floor plans are reviewed for accuracy before delivery. Radix provides a 3D virtual tour with point cloud but does not include floor plans.
Industry types
Every iGUIDE requires an industry type. This affects default view settings and may restrict which packages or features are available in certain regions.
| Industry | API Value | Default View Protection | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | "residential" | Public (unprotected) | Real estate listings, home inspections |
| Commercial | "commercial" | Protected | Commercial property marketing, facility management |
| Insurance & Restoration | "irc" | Protected | Insurance claims, damage assessment, restoration planning |
| Architecture, Engineering & Construction | "aec" | Protected | AEC project documentation, as-built records |
Protected views require authentication to access. For Residential iGUIDEs, views are public by default — anyone with the URL can view them. For all other industries, views are protected by default.
Most packages can be combined with any industry. However, some package and feature combinations are restricted by industry or region. The API will return a validation error if you attempt an unsupported combination.
Deliverables by package
What you can order depends on your package type. The tables below show which deliverables are available for each package.
Base deliverables
These deliverables are included with every iGUIDE of the corresponding package — no additional work order required. For a full comparison, see iGUIDE Pricing.
| Deliverable | Standard | Premium | Radix | Photos |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Panoramic 3D tour | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Color-coded floor plans (SVG) | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Floor plan DXFs | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Property measurements (RMS/ANSI) | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| PDF floor plans | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Gallery images | Yes | Yes | Viewer only | Yes |
| Floorplanner export | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| VR compatible | No | Yes | No | No |
Radix iGUIDEs do not include floor plans. Gallery images are available in the interactive Viewer but are not included in downloadable ZIP packages.
Add-on deliverables
These deliverables require a separate work order after your iGUIDE is published. Create a work order with the corresponding task type to order them.
Initial ADS tasks can be ordered for Standard or Premium iGUIDEs:
| Deliverable | Task Type | Standard | Premium | Radix | Photos |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CAD Floor Plans (DWG) | dwg-init | Yes | Yes | After upgrade | No |
| 3D Model (Revit) | rvt-init | No | Yes | No | No |
| Xactimate ESX | esx-init | Yes | Yes | After upgrade | No |
| CoreLogic FML (Beta) | corelogic-fml | Yes | Yes | After upgrade | No |
| Site Plan | siteplan | Yes | Yes | No | No |
If you request a site plan before the initial work order completes, the siteplan task is automatically appended to the initial work order instead of creating a new one. You'll receive the initial work order ID in the response. Once a site plan is done, you can request a new siteplan work order to update it.
You cannot create a new siteplan work order while an existing one is still pending. The API returns an already_exists error in that case.
ADS add-on tasks require a Premium iGUIDE and a completed or in-progress initial ADS order:
| Deliverable | Task Type | Standard | Premium | Radix | Photos |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CAD Floor Plans with 3D Model | rvt-dwg-floor-plans | No | Yes | No | No |
| Reflected Ceiling Plans | ads-pdf-reflected-ceiling | No | Yes | After package upgrade | No |
| Exterior Elevations | dwg-elevation | No | Yes | After package upgrade | No |
| Roof Plans | dwg-roof | No | Yes | After package upgrade | No |
| Plotted Drawings (PDF) | dwg-plotted-pdf | No | Yes | After package upgrade | No |
Radix iGUIDEs must be upgraded to Standard or Premium before ordering any ADS deliverables — see Package Upgrades below. Photos iGUIDEs do not support any additional work orders.
Standard iGUIDEs that need ADS add-on tasks (elevations, roof plans, etc.) must first be upgraded to Premium using premium-upgrade.
Package upgrades
Upgrades change the iGUIDE's package type. They do not produce a deliverable file — instead, they unlock new capabilities and trigger additional processing (e.g., manual drafting).
| Upgrade | Task Type | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard → Premium | premium-upgrade | Standard | Premium (enables VR, Revit eligibility) |
| Radix → Standard | draft-convert | Radix | Standard (triggers manual drafting) |
| Radix → Premium | draft-premium-convert | Radix | Premium (triggers manual drafting + Premium Features) |
After a Radix upgrade completes, the iGUIDE becomes a Standard or Premium iGUIDE and can order all corresponding add-on deliverables.
Updates
Updates re-process an existing iGUIDE — for example, after new scan data is uploaded or corrections are needed. They do not change the package type.
| Update | Task Type | Available For |
|---|---|---|
| Re-draft floor plans | draft-update | Standard, Premium |
| Re-process scan data | radix-update | Radix |
Required attributes
Some task types need additional attributes in the attrs field when creating a work order:
| Attribute | Values | Required | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
units | "imperial" or "metric" | All DWG, RVT, CAD2D, and CAD3D task types | — |
output | "rvt" or "dwg" | — | rvt-init |
Example — creating a CAD floor plan work order:
{
"types": ["dwg-init"],
"attrs": {
"units": "imperial"
}
}
Task type prerequisites
ADS add-on tasks must be requested with an ADS initial order. They cannot be ordered on their own.
| Task Type | Prerequisite |
|---|---|
ads-pdf-reflected-ceiling | Must be requested with an initial ADS order (dwg-init, rvt-init) |
dwg-elevation | Must be requested with an initial DWG or RVT order |
dwg-roof | Must be requested with an initial DWG or RVT order |
dwg-plotted-pdf | Must be requested with an initial DWG or RVT order |
rvt-dwg-floor-plans | An RVT order must be in progress or completed (can be a separate work order) |
Default add-ons
Each package comes with a set of add-ons enabled by default when you create an iGUIDE:
| Package | Default Add-ons |
|---|---|
| Standard | Streetview, Floorplanner, Advanced Measurements |
| Premium | VR, Streetview, Floorplanner, Advanced Measurements |
| Radix | Streetview, Advanced Measurements |
| Photos | None |
Add-ons are automatically activated when you create a work order that requires them. You do not need to enable add-ons separately.
