Overview

The Timeline Compare view allows you to simultaneously view captures taken on different dates. Viewing the same area on two different dates is useful, as it allows for comparisons throughout time. Common uses for this view include:

• Ongoing inspection of an existing building during predesign and remodel planning phases.
• Confirming specific dates for material installation during construction phases.
• Verifying records prior to the handover of a project.

Changing Dates

Each Capture Viewer has a date control at the bottom:

In each date control, there are two ways to view captures taken on different dates:

• Capture Calendar
• Capture List

Capture Calendar

To change the date using the Capture Calendar:

1. Click on the date control in the Capture Viewer you want to change dates for.
2. Note that the Capture Calendar is the default view and the current date will be surrounded by a solid blue circle. Click on a black arrow to move through the timeline and find a different date, which will be circled by a blue ring.
3. Click on the calendar date to view it.

Capture List

To change the date using the Capture List:

1. Click on the date control in the Capture Viewer you want to change dates for.
2. Click at the top to change it from Capture Calendar to Capture List.
3. Click on the date from the list to view it.

Sync or Desync Capture Viewers

You can synchronize or desynchronize the Capture Viewers by clicking on Sync view changes among 3D viewers .
