Using the Apps: reporting, measurement, and design tools
SiteVision provides a number of
All measurements and design data are recorded in a .csv, with all of the positions, angles, distances, accuracy estimates, etc., and are associated with the model loaded at the time these measurements or designs are made.
-
The measured data and designs using the BCF Topics, Plane, and Profile apps are visible only for the current session and model loaded. Any placed PDFs, or measurements using the Points, Grade & Distance, Lines & Area, Volume, and Cut-Fill apps are preserved from earlier SiteVision sessions; these are stored under a Prior User Measurements layer.
-
You cannot use the measurement and design tools if you have 2D model data loaded.
-
If the orientation status is red, the measurement and design tools are disabled for all measurement modes except GNSS measurement mode.
