Navigate the model

The model moves as a CAD model does: it turns around a centre point that you choose. Navigate must be lit on the toolbar. If a tool is lit, press Esc until Navigate is lit.

To move around the model

To	Do this
Orbit around the centre point	Drag with the left mouse button
Pan	Drag with the right or the middle mouse button
Zoom in or out	Turn the mouse wheel
Make a point the new centre and fly to it	Double-click the point on the surface
Pan left or right across the screen	Press ← or →. Hold the key to glide
Move straight up or down	Press ↑ or ↓. The view moves vertically, whichever way you are looking
Return to where a finding was recorded	Click the finding’s pin, or Fly to on its card

The wheel and the arrow keys also work while a measuring tool is lit, so you can adjust the view without leaving the tool.

To go closer than 1.5 m

The zoom stops at about 1.5 m from the surface, so that you do not pass through the concrete by accident.

1. Zoom in until the view stops at about 1.5 m.

2. Turn the wheel three more times in quick succession.

   You can now zoom to 0.40 m from the surface. The status line says “magnified, not sharper”.

Note

Closer than 1.5 m the picture is magnified, not sharper, and measurements are no finer. For the finest detail, open the source photographs of the point. See View the source photographs of a point.
