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

The icons in the 3D view may contain:

  • : Flash scans

  • : Waypoints (light blue dots)
  • : 360° images (blue and white dots). If you hover over a 360 image, the image name and the capture date are displayed.
  • : 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.
  • : 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.

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.
