NOTE: If you have other camera views saved that you want to add to this uploaded project you could add them now, or return later to do so. You would follow the same workflow listed above to add the additional views, using the same Project Name, and the Envisioneer VR app will automatically connect them. You can have a maximum of 8 camera views per project, and a maximum of 20 projects uploaded at any given time. Views will be ordered sequentially following the order of upload, with the first upload being the first that will appear when you access a project.
