Move into position

To place or align a model, you must move into position on the site.

Your position during placement

  • If you use AR markers, reference points, or anchor locks to place a model, move to location on the physical site that corresponds to the alignment option's location in the model.

    You must be able to physically access the location on the site. For example, you won't be able to scan an AR marker if equipment at the location prevents you from holding your device within one foot of the marker.

  • If you are using manual placement, VisualLive for Mobile uses your location on the site as the center of the model's geometry. The model’s placement is relative to you, not the site.

Important: Do not move away from the alignment location until the model is placed.
