Model Manager (Beta)

This toolbar helps to control the visual environment and your interactions with the model. While the left toolbar deals with object data, the right toolbar helps you manipulate the model.

• Required User Permissions (Note: At the launch of the Beta, only 'Admin' level permissions are available. Additional permissions will be phased in during the product lifecycle).

Follow these steps to learn how to use the right toolbar.

Overview

  See an overview of the toolbar options Show/Hide Details

  Toolbar Icon	Tooltip Label	Description	Purpose	Notes
  	N/A	Perspective/Orthographic Toggle	Spatial Verification. Perspective (Human Context). Used for Clash context and spatial awareness. Mimics how the human eye sees the model, to better understand depth, scale, and realistic proximity of MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) systems. Orthographic (Technical Accuracy). Used for Dimensioning and Alignment. Eliminates depth distortion for a flattened view for checking verticality, structural clearances, and precise "snapping" between elements.	Both modes automatically snap to the nearest standard plane (Top, Side, etc.) to verify precise alignments or elevations.
  	Render Modes	Visibility Toggle	Layer Control. Toggles the visibility of specific data types within the model, such as lines, terrain meshes, wireframes, and point clouds.	Show/Hide Mesh and Lines
  	X-Ray Mode	See-Through Toggle	Internal Visibility. Increases model transparency to view obscured components or internal layouts without hiding outer geometry.
  Close Icon (Red X)	N/A	Quit/Exit Mode Toggle	Command Termination. Click the Red X to immediately quit the current mode. This clears all temporary on-screen indicators and reverts the cursor to the default selection tool.	Shows only when modes are active.
  	N/A	Measurement Dimensions Flyout	Precision Analysis. Click the ruler to expand the Measurement toolbar to show the available options: Laser, Coordinates, Point-to-Point.
  	Laser	Measurement Dimension	Multi-Directional Measurement. Automatically snaps between surfaces for instant multi-directional measurements across X, Y, and Z axes.
  	Coordinates	Measurement Dimension	Spot Coordinates. Extracts precise XYZ spot coordinates from any point in the model.
  	Point-to-Point	Measurement Dimension	Spatial Distance. Calculate exact spatial distances between selected objects.
  	N/A	Sectioning Tools Flyout	Internal Inspection.
  	Section Plane	Add/Remove Section Cut	Planar/2D Slice. Slices through the model to view internal structures or cross-sections without permanently deleting geometry.
  N/A	Check back for updates… Section Box	Add/Remove Section Box	Spatial Isolation. Crops a specific portion of a model by cutting through geometry to isolate the portion within the bounds of a box.
  	Undo	History Navigation	Action Recovery. Undo reverts the last action (camera move, measurement, etc.).
  	Redo	History Navigation	Action Recovery. Redo re-applies an action that was previously undone
  	Settings	Measurement Units & Performance Mode	System Configuration. Toggle between Imperial/Metric units and adjust rendering quality (Low to Ultra) to optimize for your hardware.

Projection Modes (Perspective)

• Early access content …

  See an example of each projection mode Show/Hide

  Example

  See these examples to view the difference between projection modes.

  Perspective Mode (Default)

  Perspective mode mimics the human eye, making objects that are further away appear smaller. This creates a sense of depth that is ideal for "flying" through a site or orienting yourself within the 3D environment.

  

  Orthographic Mode

  Orthographic mode removes depth distortion so every object maintains its true scale, regardless of its distance from the camera. This is a helpful tool for checking if systems are vertically aligned or for capturing clear elevation views without the distortion of a vanishing point.

  5. Drag your cursor over any location on the model. Green lines appear to show the location's X, Y, and Z axes.

  6. Click a location on the 3D model to set the X, Y, and Z measurement points. The green lines change color:

     • Yellow: Horizontal (X-axis)

     • Red: Depth (Y-axis)

     • Blue: Vertical (Z-axis)

  7. Optional. Additional dimension options:

     1. Move a Dimension. To move a dimension, hover over it. Next, click and hold its Grab Bar (::) to drag it to a new position.

     2. Dimension Endpoints. Shapes indicate the type of point selected:

        1. Line: The dimension hits an edge.

        2. Circle: The dimension hits a surface.

     3. Endpoint Arrows. Directional arrows appear near each line's endpoint. Click an arrow to extend a dimension to the next surface or edge intersection.

     4. Remove a Dimension. Choose from these options:

        1. To remove all line segments, hover over the dimension and click the Delete icon.

        2. To remove a specific line segment, hover over a line and click the X next to the measurement's label.
