Explore Tags

Press Tools controller thumbstick to open the VR tools menu.  


To activate tags display, click with Navigation controller trigger on Tags. 


There are two ways of exploring Tags. They could be performed independently or in a combination, depending on the goals.

  • Using Search Tool

Open Resources panel with a click on the top button on Navigation controller and go to Tags panel.


For each tag there are icons available: 

  •  - go to the closest scan view 

  •  / - Activate/deactivate tag 

  • A black letter on a white background Description automatically generated  - tag details 

  • - pending tag indication 


Click on the search bar and type needed name on a virtual keyboard (could be moved in the viewport by dragging).  


Wait for the result to be displayed and scroll results by pushing and pulling the Navigation controller thumbstick.


Remove search keyword by clicking on red cross. It will clear search bar but not search results. After that it’s possible to add more search results using different keywords, meaning that accumulation of tags from different search requests is possible.


Remove Tags selection button below search bar clears the list and allows to start a completely new search. 

  • By Navigating in 3D

Make sure the Tags selection is colored green. 

 

Move between scan locations or teleport to discover tags. Each time location is changed, tags that are located at a distance inferior to 7.5m are displayed and accumulated both in the viewport and in Tags panel list.

Tags are indicated by a bounding box and a name when hovering over them.


By clicking on a tag name, dialogue box with all tag details opens, where metadata filtering is possible. Attach the window on top of the tag with Push window button.  


Note: accumulation of tags both in viewport and Tags panel list is happening no matter which tag discovery method is used. Tag discovery methods could be used in a combination.

Tags deactivation

Deactivating Tags button in the Tools menu removes all tags from the viewport and Tags panel list and makes tags discovery and search no longer activated.

 

Same happens once switched from VR mode to Desktop mode.
