You can align an area manually to a 3D model.
Aligning the area will position the waypoints and 360° images relative to the 3D model. You can then visualize those 360° images side-by-side with the 3D model in split screen view.
Open the Alignment Tool
Click the three-dots icon
of the area to open the context menu.Select menu entry Align
.
The alignment tool is displayed.Select the 3D model to which you want to align the area.
Click Align in the top right corner to open the alignment tool.
Set the Elevation
Select the level you want from dropdown list Level.
This dropdown list contains the levels imported from the 3D model. Selecting a level also fills field Elevation.
Alternatively, you can set the elevation by picking elements in the 3D model or entering a numerical value in the Elevation field.
Perform Horizontal Alignment
For a better visibility, you can zoom in and out with the mouse wheel.
Method 1: Point Pairs in Area and 3D Model
Click a location in the 3D model, for example a corner.
Then find and click the same location in the area.
You can move a marker by clicking and then dragging it.
3. If the 3D model is rotated with respect to the area, repeat steps above a second time to lock the rotation.
To remove a marker, right-click it.
Method 2: Overlay Area and 3D Model
In the top right of the screen, click the Overlay button.
You can preview the result of the point-pair alignment described above using the overlay mode.
You can also refine the alignment in the overlay mode as follows:
Click the area to set an anchor point.
Click and drag that anchor point to move the 3D model around.
Click and drag away from the anchor point to rotate the 3D model.
To resize the areato the size of the 3D model: Set a second anchor point, then click and hold one of the anchor points to resize the area.
You can zoom in and out using the mouse wheel to check the alignment.
To remove an anchor point, right-click it.
Confirm Alignment
Once the alignment meets your expectations, click the Confirm Alignment button.
