    Settings for site visibility and user permissions in the NavVis platform interface.

    Note: If your instance is private, making the site visible means that all logged-in users can view the site.

  6. If the Make site visible to everyone toggle is switched off, select the lowest user group that can view the site from the drop-down menu.

  10. (Advanced) To enter a precise location using latitude and longitude:

    1. Click Show advanced settings.

    2. Select Lat & Long (WGS 84).

    3. Enter the latitude, longitude, and height of the base point.

    4. Optionally, define a rotation for the spatial reference system by entering the angle for the x-axis (rx) and y-axis (ry).

  11. (Advanced) To define a projected, metric spatial reference system for your site:

    1. Click Show advanced settings.

    2. Select Spatial Reference System.

    3. Start typing a name, then select the spatial reference system from the options that appear.

    4. Click a location on the map to define the base point. The x and y values fill in automatically. You can also enter these values manually.

      Note: The base point is the project coordinate system origin (0,0,0) and all site data must be loaded within 20 km of that point. Data processed in a spatial reference system does not reference that point; it references the real-world origin of the related {{glossary.EPSG}} code.

    5. Enter the height (z) of the base point in meters.

    6. Optionally, define a rotation for the spatial reference system by entering the angle for the x-axis (rx) and y-axis (ry).
