Model appearance controls#

The Model appearance dialog box is displayed when you switch to AR mode. If the dialog box has been closed, open it by clicking the arrow in the lower right corner of the screen.

You can adjust the appearance of the model and the site with the following controls:

Scan appearance#

Control	Description
None	Occlusion and scan overlay/grid not on.
Occluding	Areas of the model that are behind objects in the scanned environment are hidden. For example, pipes behind a wall.
Wireframe	Displays the scanned area as a gray overlay or blue grid. Areas that are not scanned appear as holes in the grid. Devices with LiDAR: As you scan, an overlay mesh appears over the area that has been successfully scanned. If the scan mesh has holes in it, continue scanning to try to eliminate the holes. Devices without LiDAR: The scan shows as a blue grid with white feature points where the camera “sees” something.

Note: Occluding and Wireframe can be enabled at the same time. If a model is loaded, the scan overlay is visible on the environment, including on objects that occlude the model.

The same scan appearance modes are also available in Settings, where you can quickly cycle through the modes.

X-Ray#

Use the slider to adjust the transparency of the model. Increasing transparency allows the site to appear through the model. Transparency is displayed as a percentage.

Distance Filtering#

Use the slider to set the distance at which the model stops rendering. Reducing the distance can reduce or eliminate lags or stutters (frame rate). Limiting the distance at which the model is rendered improves loading speed and recognition of the space immediately in front of you. Field of depth is displayed in Imperial units.
