Visualizations

RealityPlan offers multiple visualization tools for you to understand your space in different ways.

---

Perspective/Orthographic

In the perspective view, objects which are far away are smaller than those nearby. In the orthographic view, all objects appear at the same scale.

Heightmap

The heightmap visualization mode allows you to understand your space on the standpoint of height.

Quick Tip

The span of the heightmap can be configured in the heightmap options. Setting a small span allows you to visualize the deviation of the selected volume (for example the floor deviation)

Mesh inspection

The Mesh inspection mode allows you to see the meshes in your environment without their textures.

Show triangles (Settings)

Enabling this setting allows you to see each vertex and triangle that your environment contains.

Show normals only (Settings)

Enabling this setting makes it easier to observe the normals in the environment.

X-Ray

The X-Ray mode allows you to see through the environment and highlight the edges.

Visual Compare

The visual compare tool allow you to see the deviation between 2 selected assets. Typically you will compare the CAD asset against the scanned environment. You can find more details about the Visual Compare tool over here.

Show Grid

The grid tool allows you to display a reference grid in the environment.

From the grid settings, you can:

• Snap to Grid
  Enable objects of the 3D library snapping automatically with the intersections of the grid lines.

• Adjust Grid Spacing
  Change the distance between grid lines.

• Move Grid Origin
  Unlock origin and then select a point in the environment to set as the new origin of the grid .

• Reset Grid Origin
  Restore the grid to its default .
