Add a Sheet to a New Project

1238888

You must add a sheet to your project upon project creation. You can add further sheets to your project later, see also Add, Edit or Delete Layers in Existing Projects.

A sheet is a 2D image that can be used to get an overview of an area. It is created by users, software or a CAD system. A sheet may include text, a legend and scale information. Typically, sheets are exported floor plans in .pdf, .png format or sometimes .jpg format.

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

    Currently supported file types are .pdf, .png, .jpeg/.jpg.

  3. Rotate and crop the sheet as required, see description below.

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.
