If your project contains a 3D model, you can open the 3D model by clicking the 3D Model tab. Most standard file types are supported, for example .nwd, .dwf, .ifc.
If you have more than one 3D model, you can select the model you want from the dropdown list.
Tree view of the 3D model.
Select, show and hide objects:
If you select an object in the tree view, it is also highlighted in the model view and vice versa.
If you want to select a parent object of an object in the model view, right-click it, then select Select parent.
Hide objects: Click the
icon behind the object in the tree view or right-click the object in the model view and select Hide. If you want to hide a group of objects, select the parent object in the tree view and hide it.
To copy the coordinates of an object to the clipboard, right-click it in the model view, then select the coordinates entry.
Toggle View buttons:
Depending on the objects in your project, you can toggle the view between these objects by clicking the corresponding button. In the example above, you can toggle between the 360° image, the point cloud and the 3D model.
By clicking icon
you can create an overlay between the point cloud and the 3D model.
You can then vary the opacity of one or the other via the view-specific toolbar, i.e. clicking the
icon and then reducing or increasing the opacity with the sliders. For further information, see also Make a Sheet Black and White.
You can see an example of an overlay in Capture Tab: 3D View.

Split screen: If you click button

to display one object per side. The split screen view now provides the following icons to help you "walk" through the project:
 | Lock orientation: Locks the two views regarding their orientation, i.e. if you turn around in one view, the other view will follow. |
 | Follow to selected waypoint: If you click a waypoint in one view to go to this waypoint, Flash scan or 360° image, the other view will follow. |
 | Save 360° image orientation: Open a 360° image in one view and a point cloud in the other, then click this button. |
You can find an example of a split view in Capture Tab: Walk Mode.
