Save an anchor lock after an adjustment#

VisualLive automatically prompts you to save an anchor after using any model alignment tools.

Prerequisites:#

• You must be connected to Wi-Fi.

• This feature works best on a device with LiDAR; it is not recommended for devices without LiDAR.

Save an adjustment with an anchor lock#

1. Make a manual adjustment using any of the tools in the Align menu (model alignment tools) and tap Done to close the Align menu.

   • If there is an existing anchor lock in the vicinity, you are prompted to save the alignment to the existing anchor. Tap Yes to save the alignment. The anchor lock is saved with the new information.
   • If this is the first anchor lock in the location, the Lock Alignment pop-up appears. Tap Yes.

   The blue anchor appears. Continue with the next step.

2. Position the anchor near the location you used to align the model with the site. Choose a surface that the camera recognizes and that you can move your device to within 10 feet of. For example, stand near the point where you aligned the model and place the anchor lock on the floor where you are standing.

3. In the Set Anchor menu, tap Place Anchor.

4. Save the anchor:

   • If you are prompted to scan the area, when the radial scan is at 100% there is sufficient information to save the anchor lock. When the scan completes, the anchor is automatically saved.
   • If you are not prompted to scan, tap the anchor. A pop-up appears. Tap Save in the pop-up.

A white cloud appears above a lock that has been saved online.

An orange cloud appears beside an anchor that cannot be pushed online.
