You can align point clouds to a sheet. If you do not have a sheet, you can also use the grid supplied by Sphere XG to align your point cloud in a symmetrical way.

A sheet (floorplan in Sphere Legacy) is a 2D representation of a point cloud or a CAD file that is added to the project as reference. A sheet is visible in in the 2D view. It can be overlaid with other 3D information or annotations.

IMPORTANT

Currently it is not possible to add a sheet later if you have only added a grid, nor can you add a grid and change it later. This can only be done by opening your project in HoloBuilder.

  1. After you have created a new project, click Open in Sphere XG.
    The following form is displayed:

    FARO Sphere XG Viewer - Upload first sheet / floorplan to project

  2. Enter a sheet name.

  3. Add a sheet via drag&drop or select the file you want from your file system.
    Typically, sheets are exported floorplans in PNG format.

    OR

    Click Use Grid if you do not have a sheet.
    In this case a simple grid is added. You can go back to the initial form by clicking Select a Different Image.

  4. Click Upload Grid.

The Sphere Viewer is displayed with either the sheet or the grid in the project area. Grids have a vertical numerical scale and a horizontal alphabetical scale.
