The Aerial Image is the bird's eye view of the property which is captured using Google Maps.

Step 1: 

• Navigate to the property, your screen should be similar to this:

Step 2: 

• Find the “Upload Aerial”, “Capture Aerial” or “Edit Aerial & Section Outlines” text. 

Step 3a: 

• If you would like to use Google Maps to capture the aerial image continue with Step 4.
• If you already have an image you would like to use instead of a Google Maps image through the FCS system or there is not an aerial image in the system yet then continue with Step 3b.
• If there is already an aerial image in the system click “Delete Aerial”. This will delete all aerial image data.
• You will be taken back to the property page once the aerial image has been deleted.

3b:

• Click “Upload Aerial” then click “Choose File”. Browse for the file you want to use and select it.

3c:

• Once you have selected the file click “Update Image”. 

3d: 

• You are now finished replacing the aerial image.
• If you would like to edit the section outlines on the image click “Edit Aerial & Section Outlines”.
• On the next page make sure “Yes to edit sections” is selected and click “Done”.
• Now continue with step 6.

Step 4: 

• Click “Capture Aerial” or click “Edit Aerial & Section Outlines”.
• You will be taken to a page with a Google Maps view of the property you are capturing the aerial for.

Step 5: 

• Use the Google Maps controls or your mouse to zoom and move the view of the map.
• When the building/property is centered and zoomed as far as possible without cutting any of the buildings off from the image click “Done” in the top right corner.

Step 6: 

• You will now be taken to the sectioning page.
• Here you can add and draw out sections of the property by clicking “Add Section” on the bottom right.
• When you are finished with adding sections or do not intend to add any at this time, click the “Done” button on the top right of the page.
