Models can be visualized in the navigation mode and Mark&Measure. Adjust the color and visibility of the entire model or its parts to enhance clarity and visibility. The Cropping Tool in Mark & Measure mode allows users to create precise slices, offering a clear view of any deviations between the model and the point cloud.
Visibility of the model and its entities
Show or hide the model by clicking on the eye icon next to its name.
Changing the color of the model and its entities
Go to Site Structure.
Click the color wheel of the model.
Select a color for that model and/or its entities.
Locating the model
Click the target icon next to the model’s name to navigate to it.
Expanding to view the model and its entities
Click on the arrow to the left of the name of the model to show all of its entities. Here you hide entites of specific parts of a model, to better focus on other areas.
Filtering by type in the Site structure
Open the filter menu and select Models to show the list of models only.
Comparing the model to a point cloud in Mark & Measure
Go to Site Structure.
In the Site Setup menu, make your model visible by clicking on the eye icon next to its name.
Note: Make the model more visible by picking a color that stands out.
NavVis IVION will overlay the point cloud and the model.
Open the Mark & Measure tool from the side menu in your NavVis IVION instance.
Measuring between a point cloud and the model
Open the Mark & Measure tool.
Crop the desired slice of the area.
Measure with the free, horizontal, and vertical tools.
Once you exit the cropping mode and select the measurement from the menu, you will have the option to hide it, change its color, add it to a folder, share it, or delete it.
Toggling the Crop Model Setting in Mark & Measure
From the Mark & Measure tool.
Click on the settings icon on the top right of the screen to turn the Crop Model setting on or off.
Enabling this setting will allow you to crop the model as well as the point cloud. If you wish to crop only the point cloud, disable this toggle.
Creating a POI on the model
From the Site Settings tab, make your model and point cloud visible and right click on an area to add a POI.
