Introduction

SiteView Designer is where Project Admins compose what a viewer sees when they open a shared SiteView. From a single page you can choose a layout, control which features are visible, scope which levels and captures are accessible, arrange multiple panes for comparison, and set which layers are drawn — then publish the result as a named SiteView template.

Layout Options

Open the layout dropdown next to the SiteView name (top left) to choose how the canvas is composed:

• Grid Layout — Stacks panes in a fixed grid. Use this for repeatable, structured views such as a dual capture-vs-BIM comparison.
• Freeform Layout — Allows viewers to be undocked and displayed on separate screens, enabling a more extensive view. Use this when you need flexible, full-screen pane arrangements.

Components

In the same layout dropdown, the Components section turns feature layers on or off across the entire SiteView. Each toggle is immediate — no separate save step is needed before publishing.

• Viewer Avatars — Shows who is currently accessing the SiteView. Toggle off when you do not want one viewer to see who else is present.
• Floating Plan Viewer — The inset floor-plan window inside the capture viewer. Turn off if the SiteView is purely for 360° review and the plan inset is not needed.
• OmniNotes — The OmniNotes layer. Toggle off when you share a SiteView with a client and do not want your internal OmniNotes visible to them.

Scope what viewers can see

The toolbar below the layout dropdown exposes five All … filters. Each opens a dialog where you choose which items in that category are accessible to the viewer. Click Done on each dialog to apply.

• All Levels — Select accessible levels. Unselected levels are hidden, including their captures and reference plans.
• All Dates — Choose what captures the viewer can browse: all captures, a date range, or only selected captures.
• All Reference Plans — Pick the reference plan files visible in the plan viewer. A master toggle (All Available Reference Plans) lets you enable or disable all at once; then refine by individual file.
• All BIM — Pick which BIM models the SiteView can load. Each row shows the model name and the source (Web Upload or Autodesk Construction Cloud).
• All Annotation Groups — Pick which annotation groups (configured under Project Setup) are visible in this SiteView.

Add layouts (command buttons)

The left rail is a stack of named layouts. Each entry is a saved viewer arrangement that the consumer clicks to switch between views. The layout type (Grid or Freeform) is set per SiteView; all command buttons in a SiteView share the same type.

To add a layout:

1. In Grid Layout, click Add Screen Split at the top-left of the toolbar. In Freeform Layout, click Add Viewer.
2. In the New Command Button dialog, pick a split style and type a name (for example, Dual Compare). Click Done.

The new layout appears on the left rail. Click it to make it active; the selected layout is highlighted.

Assign content to each pane

Once a layout has more than one pane, select a pane (it picks up an orange border) and pick what it shows. Each pane can be one of three viewer types:

• Capture viewer — The 360° panorama. At the bottom of the pane, pick the base layer (a specific level or Base Level) and the capture (Latest capture or a specific date).
• Plan Viewer — The 2D plan view.
• BIM viewer — A 3D BIM model. Pick the model, the version chip (V1, V2, …), and the display mode (for example, Wall Only). Use Change to swap models.

The icon stack between two panes sets the viewing mode:

• Dual camera — Two synchronized camera views.
• Single camera — A single camera shared across the panes.
• TwinLens — Paired-lens comparison.
• Extended view — Extends the active view into the adjacent pane in either direction.

Design a SiteView

New SiteView

To design a new SiteView:

1. In Project Admin Center, click on SiteViews at the top.
2. Click on the New SiteView button.
3. Give your SiteView a meaningful name, then click Save.
4. Compose the SiteView using the steps in the previous sections — choose a layout, toggle Components, scope accessibility, add command-button layouts, assign pane content, and set visible layers.
5. Click Preview (eye icon, top right) to see exactly what the viewer will see, Save as Draft to keep working without publishing, or Publish to push the changes live to everyone the SiteView is shared with.
6. Return to the SiteViews page and refresh the browser tab.
7. Click on the new SiteView to highlight it.
8. Click on the Open SiteView button.

Edit Existing SiteView

To edit an existing SiteView:

1. In Project Admin Center, click on SiteViews at the top.
2. Click on the SiteView you want to edit.
3. Update the layout, Components, accessibility filters, pane content, or layers as needed. Save as Draft keeps changes private to you; Publish rolls them out to everyone the SiteView is shared with.
4. Return to the SiteViews page and refresh the browser tab.
5. Click on the SiteView to highlight it.
6. Click on the Open SiteView button.
