Where: Google Chrome, on your Katapult pages.
When you finish: the extension is installed, shows Connected on your Katapult page, and you know what its four map helpers do.
The extension is the bridge between Katapult and Cloneable. It reads a model out of Katapult and hands it to Cloneable, and it adds four helpers to the Katapult map along the way.
Install it
Use Google Chrome. The extension exists for Chrome only.
Add it from the Chrome Web Store with the button below. Chrome lists it as Katapult to Cloneable Exporter; the window it opens is titled Cloneable for Katapult, so expect both names.
Open a Katapult page, refresh it once, then open the extension. It cannot reach into pages that were already open when you installed it.
There is nothing to sign in to. The extension has no account of its own. It reads whatever you can see in Katapult, and hands it to Cloneable's import page. You do still need to be signed in to Cloneable in the same browser before you export; see Send your Katapult model to Cloneable.
Check it is connected
Open the extension. The header tells you what it sees:
It says | It means | Do this |
Connected, plus your Katapult address | Ready. Export controls are available, and it shows how many of the current job's photos still need starring. | Carry on. |
Checking connection | Working it out. | Wait a moment. |
Reconnecting, or asks you to reopen | It can see a Katapult page but has not connected yet. Normal right after installing. | Refresh the Katapult page and open the extension again. |
Inactive, plus an address | Not set up for the address you are on: not a Katapult page, or your own Katapult address has not been added. | See the next section. |
No active tab | Nothing for it to look at. | Open a Katapult page. |
If your team uses its own Katapult address
The extension works on katapultpro.com and its subdomains out of the box. For your own address:
Open your own Katapult site first.
Open the extension and use the control that offers to add the address you are on.
If it says already added, you are done. If it says no domain to add, the address is not secure; only https addresses can be added.
The four map helpers
All four arrive switched on, and you can turn any of them off.
Helper | What it does |
Extend measurement line | Stretches the height stick to the top of pole-inspection photos |
Auto-calibrate purple markers | Runs Katapult's calibration on any photo with uncalibrated anchors |
Auto-confirm "Do it Anyway" dialog | Skips the calibration out-of-range confirmation |
Show "missing main photo" badge | A floating count of photos that still need starring, with one-click starring for Cloneable height photos |
Auto-confirm looks broken and is not. It does not take effect on a page that is already open. Turn it on or off, then reload the Katapult page. The other three apply straight away.
If a helper does not seem to work
Check the extension says Connected.
Reload the Katapult page.
If you are on your own Katapult address, check you added it.
