Get and Mark the Coordinates of a Location

1238888

You can get and mark coordinates of a location in any point cloud, 3D model and 360° image with depth information. However, to get meaningful coordinates, your captures should meet the following prerequisites:

A point cloud should have a valid coordinate system, i.e. it was either registered to survey points in SCENE, aligned to a 3D model in Sphere XG, or if Blink scans were processed and registered in Sphere XG.
A 3D model should have a valid coordinate system.
A 360° image should have orientation information in addition to the depth information.

In addition, you can get and copy the location of an annotation or a measurement. For more information, see Create and Manage Annotations and Make Measurements in a Project.

Get and Copy the Coordinates of a Location

Right-click the position for which you want to get the coordinates.
Select the coordinates from the context menu.

The coordinates are copied to the clipboard. The location is not marked.

Place a Pin and Copy the Coordinates

If you place a pin, the position will be marked with a pin icon in all views for the current browser session allowing you to compare a specific location in different views, see also figure below. You can also copy the pin's coordinates. Note that pins are not saved permanently.

Place Pin

Right-click the position where you want to place the pin.
Select Place pin from the context menu.

Press and hold the Shift key and right-click the position you want.

The location is marked with a icon.

Get the Pin Coordinates

Click the pin.
Select the coordinates from the context menu.

The coordinates are copied to the clipboard.

Delete Pin

Click the pin.
Click the icon in the context menu.

Note that the pin is deleted without further notice.

Examples


Figure 1-122 Pin in 3D model	Figure 1-123 Pin in 2D view

The above figure shows the same pin in an overlay of a point cloud and a 2D view.

Another use case is placing a pin in a 360° image with depth information and then following this pin as you move from 360° image to 360° image.
