# SNAP Setup: How Far Away Should You Stand?

## About 5-7 feet depending on your height.  This applies to the wall mount or if you use a tripod.

When using **Fit3D SNAP**, the distance between the tablet and the person being scanned is automatically optimized based on height. Maintaining the correct distance ensures the most accurate body scan and 3D model results.

### 🔹 General Guidelines

- For most people, the recommended distance is **5–7 feet** (approximately **1.5–2 meters**) between the **tablet camera** and the **center of the person’s body**.
- The app uses **AI and depth sensing** to adjust for height, so taller individuals may need to stand slightly farther back, while shorter individuals may need to move slightly closer.

### 🔹 Quick Tips

- Place the tablet at  **waist height** or slightly below, facing the person directly. This is typically about 40 inches or 100 cm.
- Make sure the entire body—from head to feet—is visible on the tablet screen before beginning the scan.
- Keep a clear area around the subject to avoid interference or background objects being captured.
- If prompted by the app, adjust the position until the body outline fits entirely within the on-screen frame.

### ⚙️ Why Distance Matters

Proper spacing allows SNAP’s AI to:

- Capture full-body proportions accurately
- Reduce distortion or cropping
- Improve circumference and volume calculations
