PDF Reports give you a quick and easy overview of selected parts of the progress on the construction site in addition to the full 360 HoloBuilder documentation. With the downloaded report, you will have analog documentation including pictures and information about the site.

Download a PDF report of your project

  1. Open your project in the Web Editor

  2. Click on Reports in the menu bar on the right side of the web editor to start configuring the PDF Report.

3. The Create Report modal will now open. Here, you can start configuring your PDF report. 

4. Select which scenes you want to include in the report by
    (a) selecting a specific timeframe,
    (b) choosing either one or more categories (left side of the modal),
    (c) directly browsing through your floorplans to choose individual scenes, time
         travels or complete sheets (right side of the modal).
    (d) combine the different setting options, e.g. to show all images from last week for
         a single floorplan.

Note: You can easily 'deselect' all images by clicking on the checkbox of 'All'. For one report, you can include up to 500 or fewer 360 images.

5. Once you have completed your selection, click Next to proceed to the subsequent configuration step.


6. In the next section, you can choose the content of the report:

    (a) Included information

  • Markups

  • 2D images

  • Categories

  • Scene description

  • Top images

  • Bottom images

  • Hyperlinks

  • Page numbers 

  • Location links

  • Add branding logo

    • NOTE: When selecting this feature, you will be asked to upload a personalized branding logo from your computer. It will be displayed on every page of the PDF report.

    (b) Type of display for the 360 image

  • Individual image for six directions: The 360 image is divided up into six individual images for the four cardinal points as well as top and bottom.

  • Flattened 360 image: The 360 image stretched as a single equirectangular image output. 

View the report

The customized report will be downloaded and saved as a PDF file to your computer. You can view and share the PDF report like any other PDF file. 

The report will include 

  • the scene name

  • the floorplan image the scene is placed on

  • the floorplan name

  • date of capture

    Optional:

  • categories

  • scene description

  • page numbers

  • clickable waypoints linking to the respective scene in the Web Editor

  • your individual branding logo

Best Practice

  1. Combine the HoloBuilder Categories feature with the PDF export to filter down the images you want to download even faster - learn more about categories.

  2. Make sure you name your locations effectively to be able to add additional site location information to the export.

  3. Combine Markups by checking the Include Markups box before hitting the export button - learn more about Markups.

  4. Look for Safety Hazards, do quick QC, before creating the PDF report and sending it to your stakeholders.

Alternative: Download the sheet map as a PDF

In the HoloBuilder Web Editor, there is an easy way to download ONLY your sheet map in PDF format. All waypoints will be displayed in the download and are clickable links that lead you to the online scene of that waypoint (if access is permitted, the project is active and you have an internet connection).
