# What's New in the IVION Interface

Use this guide when you upgrade to IVION 12.0.0 and need to find your way around the new interface. The left sidebar's contents moved: site information and settings now live in a **Topbar** across the top of the screen, and tools moved to a **Toolbar** down the left edge. No feature has been removed.

## The new layout at a glance

![Interior view of NavVis office showing toolbar, floor selector, and primary view options.](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/NavVis_OneMode_UI_overview(2).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T23%3A38%3A28Z&se=2026-11-07T00%3A38%3A28Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=ndj8zPhK9ICl37zNYisukgHl1lVkzwGj0cTHDjAyBks%3D)

**Note:** Your permissions decide what you see. If a topbar button is missing, you do not have the permission it requires. Guests and visitors to public sites see a reduced topbar.

## 1. Topbar

The topbar includes controls for site information, navigation, and settings.

![NavVis IVION UI- Topbar](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-08-13 at 13.31.28.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T23%3A38%3A28Z&se=2026-11-07T00%3A38%3A28Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=ndj8zPhK9ICl37zNYisukgHl1lVkzwGj0cTHDjAyBks%3D)

**What moved here:** Share, Site Settings, Cloud Processing (now **Data processing**), Datasets (now inside **Site structure**), Site Setup (now **Edit site**), and Spatial Model Management (now **Model management**).

**Data processing** opens a dropdown, so you can select a section directly instead of working through the side panel. The processing steps are unchanged.

## 2. Toolbar

The toolbar includes **Mark & measure**, **POIs**, **Verification**, **Crop view**, and **Crop & download**. Every tool in the toolbar opens a panel on the right. The view stays where it is, and nothing reloads.

## 3. One toggle for 3D and 2D

The main view, the secondary view, and the **mark & measure** split view are now a single **3D / 2D toggle**.

Previously, users switched between main and secondary view, toggled 2D and 3D, or used split view in **Mark & Measure**. IVION now has a single, intuitive 2D/3D toggle to switch among these options.

## 4. Data layers and scene settings

The old View menu split in two: **Data layers** for what is visible, **Scene settings** for how the scene behaves. **Data layers** holds Models, POIs, Measurements, Location markers, and 360° Location markers. **Scene settings** holds Cursor coordinates, Secondary view, and Orthographic projection, plus a **Cropping box** section while Crop view is open.

| --- | --- |

## 5. Point cloud settings

Click the drop-down menu on the **3D** button to open the **Panoramas**, **Point clouds**, and **Splats** tabs. You cannot show panoramas and point clouds at the same time.

On the **Point clouds** tab, select a **Quality** preset and an **Appearance** preset, or select **More settings** for the full controls you had before.

![User interface displaying 3D visualization options and quality settings for NavVis software.](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-08-17 at 14.35.57(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T23%3A38%3A28Z&se=2026-11-07T00%3A38%3A28Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=ndj8zPhK9ICl37zNYisukgHl1lVkzwGj0cTHDjAyBks%3D)

**Hide overlapping data** toggle is available in both **Panoramas** and **Point Clouds,** because it controls visualization of point clouds or panorama location markers.

The same settings are now in **Dataset alignment** and the **Site model editor**, where each of the four panels has its own drop-down. The top and side orthographic panels share one set of settings, so you no longer choose between perspective and orthographic appearance in a side menu.

## 6. Switching sites

Select the site name to switch to another site directly, search for a site by name, or go **Back to all sites**. Your sites are listed alphabetically.

You can also select the NavVis logo in the top left corner to go back to the **All sites** page..

## 7. All sites page

The **All sites** page shows site search and **Create site** on the left, and the map on the right.

![Map interface displaying recent sites and locations for site management.](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/image (18).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T23%3A38%3A28Z&se=2026-11-07T00%3A38%3A28Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=ndj8zPhK9ICl37zNYisukgHl1lVkzwGj0cTHDjAyBks%3D)

## 8. Search and site structure

**Search** and **Site structure** are both in the topbar. **Search** opens a panel with **All**, **POIs**, and **Site entities** result tabs. **Site structure** is where the datasets in a site are now listed.

| --- | --- |

## 9. Draft view

The draft keeps a side panel for site setup. A **draft indicator** next to the site name replaces the blue border and label.

## What has not changed

- **Your data:** Sites, datasets, POIs, measurements, and models are untouched.
- **Permissions:** The same permissions control the same features.
- **Site settings:** The relocated **Settings** icon opens the same options.
- **Cloud processing workflows:** Only the entry point moved.
- **The REST API:** The redesign does not affect it.

If you built an integration on the Frontend API, review the [IVION 12.0.0 API](https://knowledge.navvis.com/docs/api-fe-ivion-12-0-0) page for changes.
