Updating Hide Overlap

If there is a new NavVis Dataset added to the Site, either as an Alignment Bundle or a Dataset without Bundle, click the Update Hide Overlap button and the new Dataset will be incorporated into the Site.

Edit Scanning Session (IVION Professional and IVION Enterprise only)

Within Dataset Management there is an additional option for Professional and Enterprise customers:  Edit Scanning Sessions. This feature enables Hide Overlap to effectively integrate rescans into a site.

Note: A rescan means capturing the same area of a site again, usually because equipment or conditions have changed, or because you want to improve data quality in that area.

With scanning sessions, data managers can group datasets together.

• Within a scanning session, datasets compete only on data quality – the scan time is not relevant.

• Across different sessions, however, datasets compete on both data quality and the most recent scans: newer scans take priority over older ones as long as quality is comparable.

• This gives you finer control over managing overlapping datasets from different points intime and is available exclusively in the Professional and Enterprise tiers.

This ensures that all datasets together reflect a consistent, up-to-date representation of reality. To edit scanning sessions perform the following:

1. Go to Site Setup>Dataset Management.

2. Click the Edit scanning sessions button.
   

3. The following screen displays a list of NavVis Datasets.

   • The datasets are organized in descending order chronologically (newest at the top).

   • By default datasets with the same import date are placed together in the same session.

   • The datasets in each scanning session are optimized to display the highest quality point cloud without competing with each other.

4. Click the Move button and drag the time divider up or down, moving a dataset from one scanning session to another.

5. Click the +Add scanning session button to split datasets further into more scanning sessions.

6. Click the Delete button to remove a scanning session.
   

7. Click the Collapse button to collapse individual scanning session or click the Collapse all to collapse all scanning sessions.

8. Click the Save & Apply Hide Overlap button.

9. Click the Confirm button.

10. Click the Publish button.

Note: To quickly toggle between Hide Overlap applied and Hide Overlap removed you can go to the View setting and switch between the two. Refer here.
