X-PLORE tools

• The Tools panel allows to open different tools.

• Press to open the tools list.

  

  • Localization: allows to quickly localize an IFC model.

  • Photo: takes and save an image of the current view to be saved on the controller.

  • Pipe: converts selected polylines in pipes, to give a more realistic rendering and understanding of the augmented reality view.

Localization

• The Localization tool allows to quickly localize an IFC model on the current GNSS position.

• From Tools list press Localization.

  

  • Use job’s localization: uses the localization already available in the project.

  • Localize position: localizes the IFC model measuring a point and a direction and identifying them on the IFC model.

  • Localize elevation: localizes the IFC model only on elevation measuring a point and identifying the point on the IFC model.

• When the localization procedure is started, the software asks to indicate the reference point on the IFC model.

  

• And then measuring the selected point using the GNSS receiver.

  

• Complete the localization procedure to localize and visualize the IFC model in X-PLORE.

  

Photo

• The Photo tool allows to take a photo of the current AR view, without the X-PLORE interface.

• From Tools list press Photo.

• Tap to take the picture. The picture is stored in the Img folder of the current job.

  

Pipe

• The Pipe tool allows to converts selected polylines in 3D pipes. This helps to better understand and improve the rendering in the augmented reality view.

• From Tools list press Pipe.

  

• Press to change the pipe diameter.

• To create the pipe, select a polyline.

  

• The selected polyline is converted in a pipe, and a grey line shows the vertical projection of the polyline on an horizontal plane at GNSS receiver elevation.

• Press Confirm to create the pipes, press Cancel to cancel the operation.
