Placing a model: manual placement

1. When you have loaded the required model (see Loading a model), tap / Place Model / Manual to start the Manual Placement process.

2. Navigate the plan view of your model to get the approximate location and correct orientation for the model placement.

3. Adjust the position of the model:

   • Drag two fingers on the screen to make large adjustments, and one finger to make small, fine adjustments to the model placement

   • Use the adjustment tools on the right of the screen to align the model correctly with the real world:

     Vertical

     Horizontal

     Rotate

   • View the model from a number of different perspectives / angles while making small adjustments to fine-tune the model's placement.

     When there is a horizontal plane within 50 cm (20 in) of the ground, a yellow icon is visible. Tapping this icon will align the horizontal plane in the model to the ground in the real world; the icon changes to green .

4. When the model is correctly placed, tap Finish.

When you have manually placed a model, the GNSS Status and Orientation Status icons are hidden from the top right of the screen. Instead—if your device is connected to the antenna—the icon shows, indicating that you have performed a manual placement.

Canceling a Manual Placement

To cancel the Manual Placement and reinstate the GNSS connection:

1. Tap-hold in the top left corner of the screen.

2. SiteVision prompts Do you want to remove your Manual Placement?". Tap Continue to cancel the Manual Placement. The connection to the antenna is reinstated, and the GNSS Status and Orientation Status icons redisplay. Their color (red, yellow, or green) will depend on their status. See Working with GNSS and Orientation status for more information.
