From this menu, you can navigate to a dataset, rename a dataset, and filter the view so that only the information you want to work with is shown. ![Navigation interface showing site structure and selected Floor 4 in NavVis Office.](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/w1(4).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-14T08%3A13%3A50Z&se=2026-10-14T09%3A13%3A50Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=tjepSc2Kut8riQ83qZ%2BoZP52h6deCsxYth3BPAQMyY0%3D) ## Navigating 1.

Showing or hiding a dataset also shows or hides its associated point cloud. ![Site structure overview showing buildings and floors in a navigation interface.](https://cdn.document360.io/bf174766-fa1a-4fe1-a4d7-b1db1e7cb996/Images/Documentation/w7(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-14T08%3A13%3A50Z&se=2026-10-14T09%3A13%3A50Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=tjepSc2Kut8riQ83qZ%2BoZP52h6deCsxYth3BPAQMyY0%3D) --- ### FAQ #### Where can I find the Site Structure menu? Click the **Site Structure** icon in the topbar. #### What happens when I click the navigation icon next to a dataset? The view moves to the corresponding dataset. #### How can I filter the datasets displayed in the structure menu? Click the filter icon and select which items to display: **Site entities**, **Datasets**, or **All**. #### Is it possible to view datasets based on the camera's position? Yes. Toggle on **Currently in view** to adjust the datasets shown according to your camera position and viewing direction. #### Why do I need to switch to point clouds to hide datasets? Displaying point clouds in the 3D view lets you hide or unhide datasets and their associated point clouds. A dataset is a piece of a site: the result of a continuous recording with a NavVis mapping device, or an imported point cloud. Datasets can contain panoramic images and point clouds. A Site Model is a three-dimensional model that clusters information by assigning meaningful names to clearly defined areas of a site. With a Site Model, you can define and name the buildings, floors, rooms, or more fine-grained spaces of a site in IVION. Among other things, this information powers the floor changer and enriches POI search.
