This view allows you to move ("walk") through 360° images, point clouds, Flash scans and 3D models.

There are two ways to access the walk mode view:

  • Click icon in the toolbar on the lower left side.

  • In the 2D view or 3D view, click a waypoint (blue dots) or a Flash scan or 360° image (blue and white dots). I

The walk mode view is opened.

To move in the walk mode view, you can:

  • Pan left, right, up and down with the left mouse button.

  • Zoom in and out with the mouse wheel.

If a 360° image has orientation information, you can copy the coordinates of a location in the 360° image to the clipboard. Right-click it in the walk mode view, then select the coordinates entry. You can also place a pin to mark a location and its coordinates. See Get and Mark the Coordinates of a Location for more information.

Time travel: If there are more than one point clouds, Flash scans or 360° images in the project, you can select these elements from the dropdown list to "go through time", i.e. see the status of a project at various points in time.
In addition, this field shows the dataset name, which is also shown in the project structure view, on the left side and the scan name as well as the capture date on the right side. You need to hover the mouse pointer over the field to see the complete entry.

Toggle View buttons: 

  • Depending on the objects in your project, you can toggle the view between these objects by clicking the corresponding button. In the example above, you can toggle between the 360° image, the point cloud and the 3D model. If images contain color and intensity information, you can open the dropdown 360° Photo and select the color option you want.

  • By clicking icon you can create an overlay between the point cloud and the 3D model.

  • You can then vary the opacity of one or the other via the view-specific toolbar, i.e. clicking the icon and then reducing or increasing the opacity with the sliders. For further information, see also Make a Sheet Black and White.
