The screen has three sections: the view bar, the quality map, and the side bar. - **View bar:** Changes floors and views depending on which setting you're in. - **Quality map:** Shows real-time information about the scan you're performing, in 2D and 3D. - **Side bar:** Shows the battery status. You can manage settings and control the functions and features from here. ![User interface displaying a quality map, view bar, and various control options.](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/960e8758-d188-41eb-8e07-5390004aeb54.png) ## Side bar The side bar contains the following functions that control the scanning procedure: - **Battery status:** The percentage of Li-Ion battery charge remaining ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/image-IX06JWKE.png). - **Settings:** Tap the [Settings](https://knowledge.navvis.com/docs/the-user-interface-1) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/image-YOAZB1Z3.png) to change settings. - **Panoramas:** Tap the [Panorama Preview](https://knowledge.navvis.com/docs/clx-panoramas-management) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/image-8LJPGCV6.png) to view a list of the panoramas taken in the current dataset. You can edit or delete them. You can also view the number of panoramas in the dataset and a thumbnail of the last one taken. - **Control points:** The [Control Point](https://knowledge.navvis.com/docs/clx-control-point-capturing-and-management) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/image-C05QA7T4.png) shows how many control points have been recorded. Tap it to add a control point, or to view, edit, and delete all control points added to the current dataset. - **3D/2D views:** Switches the display between the 3D and 2D views ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/image-G68LNJ2X.png). - **Location:** Tap the **Recenter** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/image-GMUW8CIJ.png) to recenter the live map. - **Start/pause:** Tap **Start** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/image-8XCD467V.png) or **Pause** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/image-74DA6CFK.png) to pause or restart the scan. This area also shows how much time has passed since the scan began. - **Save:** Tap the **Save** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/image-704OTC2Z.png) to stop and save the scanned data. ## Quality map ### **The 3D quality map** View the environment in 3D mode. Use the 3D view to check coverage from different angles.

It gives you a general overview and tracks how complete your scanning session is. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/65b0f7b2-41b6-4bfd-9ee1-32270c07b780.png) - The yellow arrow represents your current position. - The yellow lines extending from the yellow arrow represent the LiDAR rays emitted by the laser scanner. - The white line shows the route you've taken. - The map shows two types of panoramic views: - 360° panoramic view. - 270° panoramic view (this also indicates the direction with a small arrow). - The control point icon shows the location of a control point and its name. - The colors show how complete the scan is: - Blue: The ceiling and floor are mapped. - Light green: The ceiling is mapped, but the floor isn't mapped. - Dark green: The floor is mapped, but the ceiling isn't mapped. - White: Walls and other vertical objects. ## System status messages Errors and warnings are shown as pop-up messages. - Red warning: Indicates a critical issue that requires your immediate attention. - Yellow warning: Indicates important information that needs your attention, but you can continue to scan. > [!NOTE] > Note > > If you see an error, read the message carefully and refer to the troubleshooting instructions.
