Panning, Rotating, Centering, and Zooming the Map
On the NavVis VLX user interface, users can pan, rotate, zoom, and center the map during the scan to confirm what has already been scanned. After the NavVis VLX initializes, the default mode shows the pan button at the top left of the interface.
Procedure
While scanning, touch the interface and use your finger to pan the map in any direction to see what has already been scanned.
To rotate the map view, tap the pan button
at the top left to switch to rotation mode. The rotate button
appears at the top left to indicate the screen is in rotation mode.
With your finger(s), rotate the map left or right.
The recenter button
at the bottom left of the screen recenters the map.
To zoom in or out of the map view, pinch the interface to zoom out, and move two fingers away from each other to zoom in.
Changing the Vertical View of the Dataset
In order to check back on previously scanned floors below or above your current location, you can change the vertical view of your dataset.
Procedure
During the scan, pause the scanning by tapping the Pause icon.
On the left of the user interface, the vertical view slider is displayed. Each number on the slider represents one meter (m) above (positive) or below (negative) the device's current location (0 m). Slide the vertical view slider up or down to move above or below the current view. As the slider moves, the selected meter number appears between the lines, and the scanned dataset at that meter level appears on the user interface.
Tap the start icon to resume scanning. The vertical view on the slider goes back to the current view (0 meters) and is hidden.
