The project draft view is the place where you can work on your project without actually changing the live project. The changes only become part of the live project once you publish them.
Click Draft at the top of the Sphere XG Viewer.
Then, click the Edit registration icon
on the right side of the Viewer.
The view stays the same, but the toolbar on the right side will change. In addition, the connections between scans are now displayed.
In the draft view you can:
Move scans to the position you want.
Add and refine connections.
Rename and delete scans, see Inspect Your Project in the Draft View for .
To exit the registration, click the 
icon again.
Move and Rotate Scan
To translate and rotate one or more scans:
1. Select the scan you want to move or rotate in the tree view or in the Viewer. If you want to select more than one scan press and hold the CTRL key, then select the scans.
2. Then, drag or rotate the scan until it is in the correct position.
Add or Delete Connections
To add a connection, click the 
icon and then the two scans you want to connect.
New connections are displayed in gray. Registered connections are displayed green, yellow or red depending on their registration result.
To delete a connection, click the 
icon and then the connection you want to delete.
Further Actions Required in Registration
If there are unconnected scans in your project or if the registration failed, the draft view will show that further actions are required, see figure below.
Undo/Redo Manual Registration Steps
You can undo and redo the following actions:
Move or rotate scans.
Add or delete connections.
You can undo and redo the last step by clicking the 
and 
icons. Undoing and redoing is also possible via the CTRL+z and CTRL+y shortcuts (Cmd+z and Cmd+y on Mac).
Rename and Delete Captures and Clusters
Refine the Registration and Publish Scans
During the refinement process, the scans will be registered at their positions.
If you have made changes but you want to check the refinement before publishing:
1. Click the Refine icon 
in the toolbar on the right side.
When the refinement has finished you can again check the result, make changes and refine again or publish.
OR
If you want to refine and publish in one go or if you do not want to refinefor example if you know that refining will not work because there is not enough overlap between the scans before publishing:
1. Click the Publish button.
Sphere XG will detect whether or not the project has already been refined and will offer to refine before publishing.
2. Click the option you want.
When the refinement is done or if have chosen to continue without refinement, the Ready to publish form will be displayed:
3. Make the publishing settings you want. See below for details.
4. Click Publish.
The project will be published.
Publishing Options
Generate point cloud
If you enable this switch, all scans will be merged into a point cloud before publishing. Otherwise, only the overview map with registered scans and 360° photos will be published. Note that 3D data will not be available.
Reflection filter (beta)
If you enable this switch, reflections caused by reflective surfaces will be filtered out.This may increase processing time. It is recommended to disable the filter if there are no reflective surfaces. Note that this feature is still in beta state.
