The Observations panel

The panel lists the project’s findings: point observations, saved measurements, and AI proposals that someone has signed off or dismissed. AI proposals that nobody has decided yet are listed in the AI defects panel instead. Every finding has a number — OBS-001, OBS-002 and so on — that never changes and is never reused.

Header

Item	What it does
Observations and a count	How many findings the list shows
Update line	When the list was last brought up to date — for example “Updated 10:30 · 5 min ago”. Reads ⚠ Refresh failed if the last refresh did not reach the server
Refresh	Reads the latest saved findings, including your team’s. The list never refreshes by itself
›	Collapses the panel to a thin bar on the right edge

When a colleague has saved a newer version of a finding than the one you see, a line under the header says so, with its own Refresh button.

When the project has AI proposals that nobody has decided, a banner above the list says how many — for example, “12 AI proposals; detector source … — open AI defects”. Click it to open the AI defects panel.

Search, filters and display

Control	What it does
Search box	Shows only findings whose number, title, notes, location, recommended action or tags contain what you type
Filters	Shows or hides the filter rows. A count beside it says how many filters are applied
Type	point, measurement or bookmark
Status	open, monitoring, resolved, closed
Category	crack, spalling, seepage, corrosion, erosion, deformation, vegetation, other
Review	pending, signed, dismissed. Dismissed findings are hidden unless dismissed is chosen here
Source	proposed (by the AI) or mine (recorded by a person)
Geometry	coherent, stray anchors, not assessable — whether an outline can be trusted. See Measurement results
Show on model	Which findings may appear on the model: All observations, Matching filters or Nothing
Display style	How they are drawn: Adaptive, Pins + labels or Pins only
Clear filters	Removes every filter and the search text

Within one row, choosing two values shows findings that match either. Across rows, a finding must match every row. A row with nothing chosen does not filter.

Export buttons

Button	What it exports
CSV	The findings shown in the list, as a spreadsheet file
?	The CSV glossary: what every column of the CSV means
PDF	The findings shown in the list, as a PDF report rendered from each finding’s saved view

Only signed-off findings appear in an export. See PDF report contents.

A finding card

Part	What it shows
Tick box	Ticks the finding for the actions bar. Ctrl+click a card does the same
Number and chips	OBS-…, area or distance for a measurement, its severity and its status
Eye	Hides or shows this finding on the model. The finding stays in the list and in reports
Review mark	draft (not signed off), ✓ (signed off), ✓✓ (signed off and independently reviewed) or dismissed
Outline mark	outline when some points of the outline landed on the wrong surface, so its size cannot be trusted; unchecked when there are too few points to tell
Title and details	The title; then the category or the measured figure, the location, and no viewpoint if none was saved
Fly to	Returns the view to where the finding was recorded
Edit	Opens the finding form
Delete	Deletes the finding. A notice offers Undo
Review	On a finding that is not decided: opens the review panel to sign it off or dismiss it
Undo	On a decided finding: takes the sign-off or the dismissal back
2nd review, Undo 2nd	On a signed-off finding: adds or removes an independent second review (Admin role, a different person)
Task text	On a signed-off finding with a recommended action: plain text for a maintenance system

Click a card to select the finding and fly to its saved view. Shift+click ticks every card between the last one ticked and this one.

Actions for ticked findings

The bar appears when at least one finding is ticked.

Control	What it does
“N findings ticked”	How many are ticked
Name this part of the structure… and Group	Files the ticked findings under a new group with that name
Add to an existing group…	Files them under a group that exists. Shown when the project has groups
Ungroup	Takes them out of their group. The findings are not changed
Clear	Unticks everything. Esc does the same
Export CSV, Export PDF	Exports only the ticked findings

Press Delete to delete the ticked findings. See Delete a finding.

Groups in the list

When the project has groups, the list is divided into sections, one per group, with Not filed under a part last. A section heading shows the group’s number (GRP-…), its name, an eye that hides the whole group on the model, the number of findings, and Select, Rename and Delete. Click the arrow at the start of the heading to fold the section.
