Overview

In SiteView, reference plans are displayed in the Plan Viewer. You will also see icons representing the locations of panos, Hi-Fi panos, Annotations, and OmniNotes. This article provides a basic explanation of the navigation in the Plan Viewer.

Panos and Viewports

The location of each image captured is marked with a blue dot (pano) or purple and white star (High Fidelity pano) on the Reference Plan. Click on the icon to view the pano.
The pano currently displayed in a Capture Viewer is highlighted in orange, pink, green, or light blue, depending on the amount of Capture Viewers published.
The highlighted pano also has a viewport spreading out from it. This represents the level of zoom selected using the mouse scroll wheel.

The viewport faces the direction you are pointing, and the span of the radar shows the field of view (FOV) of the displayed photo.
The viewport rotates as you turn in the pano, and the view becomes smaller or larger as you zoom in and out of the pano, respectively.
You might also see:
- 3D dollhouses - 3D points extracted from video recordings.
- Sketch drawings - Text, polylines, symbols, and Room locations. These graphics make finding and identifying specific 2D/3D spaces easier.

Annotations are represented by different icons, depending on the type. Here are some examples:

Notes:
Procore Observation:

OmniNotes has two types of icons:
