Creating and importing custom symbols

When you use SketchUp to create a new symbol, make sure the model is centered on the origin, including within the components or groups.

The default symbols are always updated when SiteVision starts.

Do not change the default symbol files; instead create your own symbols. If required, you can copy a default symbol to use as a base to create your own. If you edit the default symbols, your changes will be overwritten when the default symbols are updated when SiteVision starts.

To create your own symbols:

  1. Design a symbol using Trimble SketchUp or download one using SketchUp 3D Warehouse.

  2. Save the model as a .SKP

  3. Connect your device to your PC and navigate to yourDevice/Android/data/com.trimble.sitevisionAR/files/Symbols.

  4. Copy-paste your symbols into this folder.

  1. Design a symbol using Trimble SketchUp or download one using SketchUp 3D Warehouse.

  2. Save the model as a .SKP

  3. Connect your device to your Mac, or use iTunes to navigate to On My iPad/Trimble SiteVision/Symbols.

  4. Copy-paste your symbols into this folder.

  1. After placing the .SKP model file on your device, if you wish to use this custom symbol with any SiteVision Manager rules, you need to copy the .SKP to your Windows computer.

  2. Navigate to Windows (C:) \ Program Files \ Trimble SiteVision Manager \ Symbols, and insert your new symbol into this folder. Your new symbol will now be included within the Display Style list in the SiteVision Manager.

  3. Follow the instructions in Using the SiteVision Manager to allocate the new symbols to Attributes.
