Two scanners with different priorities

C1 and V4e Go can both help interior design teams turn existing rooms into useful digital references. Their priorities, however, are different.

C1 is purpose-built for indoor floor-plan work. Its workflow helps a designer capture a room, review a generated draft before leaving, check selected dimensions, and make detailed plan adjustments in Creative Portal.

V4e Go is designed for a broader range of projects. It can follow the Creative route for indoor floor-plan work. It can also continue through Model Web to produce an automatically generated floor plan, an OBJ model, an AI-generated interior rendering, or other 3D deliverables. Exterior capture is available when a project extends beyond the rooms themselves.

How does the C1 floor-plan workflow work?

C1 is the stronger fit when an editable floor plan is the main deliverable and the team wants to begin reviewing it while still onsite.

Capture the interior with C1 and the Creative app.
Review the generated floor-plan draft and any highlighted coverage gaps.
Add built-in laser measurements to selected areas when direct checks are needed.
Upload the project to FJD Trion Creative Portal.
Refine walls, doors, windows, and room boundaries while keeping the captured room visible as a reference.
Export the floor plan as an editable DXF or produce the required floor-plan report.

This sequence gives interior designers a repeatable path from site survey to a workable CAD base. The draft reduces the plan geometry that must be established after the visit. Creative Portal gives the user control over the final organization of the plan.

How does the V4e Go floor-plan workflow work?

V4e Go gives interior design teams two useful processing routes. The best route depends on whether the priority is detailed plan creation or a wider set of automated and visual outputs.

V4e Go with Creative Portal

For indoor plan work, capture the space with V4e Go in the Creative app and review coverage before leaving. After upload, use the captured 3D space as the reference while creating and refining walls, doors, windows, and room boundaries in Creative Portal. The resulting DXF can then be developed further in compatible CAD software.

This route keeps the designer closely involved in how the plan is interpreted. It is useful when room geometry needs careful review or when the team wants to organize the floor plan around its own design standards.

V4e Go with Model Web

For a more automated route, capture the project with FJD Trion Scan and process it in FJD Trion Model Web. Compatible V4e Go projects can produce DXF and PDF floor plans automatically. The DXF can be opened and edited in compatible CAD software.

Model Web can also generate an OBJ 3D model that preserves the room structure without applying image textures. That model can support downstream visualization, including AI-generated interior renderings in Model Web. This gives a design team several ways to use one capture without requiring staff to understand the underlying 3D data in technical detail.

Creative Portal vs. Model Web

Creative Portal and Model Web are not competing versions of the same workflow. They serve different project needs.

Workflow question	Creative Portal	Model Web
Which scanners use it?	C1 and V4e Go	V4e Go
What is its main role?	Create and refine floor plans with the captured space as a visual reference	Generate and manage a wider range of project outputs
How does C1 begin?	With a floor-plan draft generated in the Creative app	Not applicable
How does V4e Go begin?	With the captured room ready to guide plan creation and refinement	With a compatible scan ready for cloud processing
Can it produce DXF?	Yes	Yes, with automatic floor-plan generation for compatible projects
Can it produce OBJ?	Yes, for compatible Creative projects	Yes
Can it produce an AI interior rendering?	Not as part of the Creative Portal workflow	Yes

For a team focused on carefully refined interior plans, Creative Portal is the central workspace. For a team that also wants automated floor plans, OBJ models, AI renderings, and other 3D outputs, V4e Go adds the Model Web route.

Which scanner is better for interior designers?

C1 is usually the better choice for a studio that repeatedly surveys existing interiors. The resulting plans can support space planning, renovation, furniture layout, or design development.

The value is not simply that C1 captures the room. It also creates a floor-plan draft onsite, helps the user identify possible gaps, supports selected laser checks, and carries the project into detailed Creative Portal refinement. That makes the workflow easier to standardize across repeated residential, retail, office, or hospitality projects.

V4e Go is usually the better choice when the studio wants one capture system to support more services. A team can use it for indoor plans, exterior context, OBJ models, AI concept renderings, property documentation, and other 3D deliverables. The result is a wider range of ways to present, develop, and reuse the captured space.

Which scanner is better for indoor and outdoor projects?

C1 is focused on interiors. This makes the product easier to evaluate when the business case is built around room measurement and floor-plan delivery.

V4e Go is the more flexible choice when projects may include both interiors and exteriors. For example, a remodeling team may need the room layout, the building exterior, and site context. A design-build firm may want a floor plan for CAD, an OBJ model for visualization, and a broader 3D record for coordination. Optional compatible GNSS positioning can also support outdoor work that requires real-world coordinates.

If nearly every project ends with an indoor plan, the wider capability may not be necessary. If project scope changes frequently, V4e Go leaves more options open.
