Placing a Model

In SiteVision, there are four ways to position a model on site:

Automatic. Automatic Placement requires high accuracy GNSS. It also requires and uses coordinate system information within the data, or reads a Site Calibration file associated with the model.

See Placing a Model: Automatic Placement.
Measured. Measured Placement requires high accuracy GNSS.

This method is useful when you want to use GNSS for precise outdoor positioning for a model that is not automatically placed correctly. For example, when there is no Site Calibration file assigned, when there is a difference between the source data and the GNSS on site, or you want to make an adjustment to the Automatic Placement.

See Placing a model: Measured Placement.
Marker. This is the recommended method for model placement. It requires QR Markers to be created within the digital model at known locations. Physical printouts of the Markers are then placed in the corresponding real world location. Once this Marker network is established, the model can be accurately positioned by simply scanning the nearest Marker.

Manual. Placement is by using gestures on the screen and the augmented reality technology on your mobile device.
