The 2D View is the standard view that will be shown on opening a project from the Sphere XG Dashboard. If you are currently in another view, click icon in the toolbar on the lower left side to open the 2D view.

It shows the sheet of your project. If your uploaded project has more than one sheet, they are sorted in alphabetical order.

You can add further sheets as layers in the same area or as new area in the view settings and filter toolbar, see Add, Edit or Delete Layers in Existing Projects.

2D view of the project: If a project has been uploaded, an overview plan is created automatically. The 2D view shows this overview.

The icons in the 2D view may contain:

Flash scans

Trajectory points for GeoSLAM static scans and VideoMode waypoints from HoloBuilder.

Generic waypoints for different types of data, i.e. a 360° image, a scan or a static image. If you hover the mouse pointer over a waypoint and an image is attached, the image name and the capture date are displayed.

Waypoint created in the HoloBuilder WebEditor with a 2D image (without position information). Starting from Sphere XG later than July 2025, you can attach 2D images to waypoints directly in Sphere XG. For more information, see xxx.

 2D images created in HoloBuilder.

 Location marker. These location markers are placeholders for images that should be added to the layer in the JobWalk app. Currently, you cannot add location markers directly in the Sphere XG Viewer. For more information, see How to plan and organize JobWalks with the JobWalk Planner. Starting from Sphere XG version later than August 2025, you can also set location markers in Sphere XG. For further information, see Move Waypoints within an Area.

Measurement. If you zoom in, the measurement details are displayed, see also Make Measurements in a Project.

 Annotation. If you zoom in, the annotation details are displayed, see also Create and Manage Annotations.

Measurement with an annotation.

If you click a waypoint, a Flash scan or a 360° image, the view changes to the walk mode view assuming the perspective from the selected point.

You can move waypoints, 360° images, 2D images and location markers, see Move Waypoints within an Area for more information.

Click this button to import a point cloud, 3D model or a sheet as area or layer from your computer, see Import a Point Cloud, Import a 3D Model and Import a Sheet as New Area or New Layer.
