The first step is to capture individual sections independently in multiple sessions. For large scale, you can have multiple people mapping different areas of a venue at the same time, which can be merged later.This is helpful when you want to capture large venues in a short period of time.
Overlap between individual maps is recommended, but it's not mandatory, as we can merge maps without overlaps too. The ideal capture duration for an individual section could be up to 5 minutes.
Select a Map from the list by pressing on (...) and then choose the "Merge Map" option
Choose a map from the list of the maps that you have created so far to be merged.
Localize in maps that you want to merge by following the on-screen instructions, start by localizing in the first map, then walk to the next map, and localize. Post successful localization of both maps, you will see a success pop-up and you can enter the name of your MapSet
After successfully merging the first pairs of maps in-app, you can test the localization in the combined map as MapSet See the list of MapSet under the new tab and then select a MapSet to either test localization or extend MapSet further
In the Developer Portal, you should be able to view the combined maps meshes together as shown below
If there is any error in the MapSet merging process you will notice that individual meshes are not merged together well, in this case you have to remove that individual map and add it back in MapSet
