Viewer project floorplan

A site floorplan is presented upon entry to the project. Viewer supports the use of multiple floorplans which can either be derived from laser data or from .pdf files. These are typically set to correspond with the site major elevation changes and are defined by the person creating the Viewer project. Sectional plans can also be used for side elevations at key points of interest. If you wish to switch to a different floorplan, you can do so through the Project Components Browser Floorplan tab.

Floorplan movement controls

For desktops and laptops:

Pan – Left mouse click and drag

Zoom – Roll mouse wheel

For mobile devices:

Pan – Finger press and drag

Zoom - Pinch

Note: Viewer floorplans will offer an increased level of detail as you navigate and zoom to a point of interest.

If the project being accessed has multi-level floorplans, the extents of the linked floorplans will be shown on the primary floorplan as shown above. Hover over the floorplan extents box to show the name of the linked floorplan. Double-click on the floorplan extents box to load the linked floorplan.

To turn on the display of multi-level floorplans, select Linked floorplans under the Floorplan Options menu.

Please note that multi-level floorplans are applicable to PDF floorplans only.

The project scan locations are identified as blue markers on the floorplan. Markers with a red center represent unloaded scans. Markers with a green center represent loaded scans.

When an area contains a close grouping of scans, the scan sites will be clustered together on the floorplan for clarity. This will make the floorplan visible even when the project contains many scans. The cluster will display the total number of scans included. When double-clicked, the floorplan will zoom in and expand the cluster into individual scan sites.

The project panoramic image locations are identified as blue squares on the floorplan. Squares with a red center represent unloaded panoramic images. Squares with a green center represent loaded panoramic images.

The floorplan view can also display the project 3D Markups, measurements, objects and Benchmarks. This enables you to determine where they are located within the building or facility, so that appropriate scans can be opened in which to display them. Items that are currently selected will be displayed in the floorplan.

To see benchmarks in the floorplan, enable the Benchmarks option under the Floorplan Options menu.
