Place the model with Anchor Search#

You can use this method if you have previously placed a model and saved an anchor lock in it. The next time you load the model, you can search for the anchor lock and activate it to place the model.

Anchor locks saved online can be detected and activated while you're working online. Anchor locks saved offline can be detected and activated while you're working offline.

Note: Anchor locks do not appear during the search until you are within 30 feet of their locations. It is good practice to document where you place anchor locks.

Prerequisites#

• At least one anchor lock exists in the model.
• The steps in Load a model have been completed.

Place the model with an anchor lock#

If the model contains anchor locks, the message "Searching for anchor locks" appears automatically.

Note: if you would rather use a different placement method, airtap Skip search.

To use an anchor lock to place the model:

1. Move towards the location of the anchor lock you want to use to place the model. The anchor appears when you approach within 30 feet and activates within 10 feet. A triangle appears above an active anchor.

2. Airtap Done.

3. When asked if you want to lock the model to the anchor, airtap Yes.

   The model moves into alignment with the site.
