Viewing measurements

After taking measurements, you can view and interact with these in SiteVision.

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 recorded 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.

A point measurement is shown as a blue sphere by default, unless you have applied a symbol to it.
A measured area is shown with blue spheres for the measured points, yellow lines for the lengths, and purple for the surface area.
A measured volume is shown with blue spheres for the measured points, yellow lines for the perimeter, and dark blue for the volume.
A cut/fill measurement is shown as a virtual stake. Red indicates a cut. Blue indicates a fill.
A grade & distance measurement is shown as a yellow line with the two points shown as blue spheres.
A plane is shown as purple for the surface area.
A profile is shown as a yellow line which represents the profile alignment, white lines which represent the borders / changes in the profile's angles, and a purple surface.

For placed PDFs, Point, Grade & Distance, Lines & Area, Volume, and Cut/Fill measurements, tap the measurement on the screen to view its attributes. The Details window displays.

In the Details window, you can delete a measurement; tap in the bottom right corner of the window.

You cannot tap and view details, or delete measurements for Plane, or Profile measurements.
Turn off the layers in the model to view only the measurements.
When you record measurements or designs in the field, SiteVision creates a layer for each app under a User Measurements layer. This enables user-created data to be hidden or displayed in the 2D or 3D view of data. To hide / display any layers, tap then tap the required layer(s) to hide or display them. See Viewing a model for more information on layers.
