Notes on operation
Mouse navigation in the panorama
The mouse can perform the following actions when the cursor is over the panorama image:
- Turn the mouse wheel forward: zooms in on the panorama image as far as possible
- Turn the mouse wheel back: zooms out on the panorama image as far as possible
- Hold down the right mouse button and move the mouse: The visible section of the panorama image follows the cursor until the right mouse button is released. This process is equivalent to turning your head in the room to see it from a different perspective.
- The mouse wheel is used to select 3D elements in the panorama.
Snap points
Snap points are directly visible or temporarily displayed during construction. Visible snap points include the measuring points for the laser measurements (green in colour) and the corner points of the previously constructed 3D elements (yellow in colour). Temporary snap points are automatically displayed when the cursor is located near an edge, an intersection or the centre of an edge. There is an individual visualisation for each snap point:
- Line: a sphere; orange
- Edge: a cube standing on its base, yellow
- Intersection: a cube standing on its point, red
- Centre point: a sphere, blue
Snap points are important for targeted 3D modelling. The goal of modelling is to have an enclosed room shell.
Key functions
he following key functions are available to 3D support modelling:
F2/F3 | Temporary construction lines, vertical / horizontal, ideal for e.g. design openings of the same height.
|
F6/F7/F8/F9 | Switch on/off Snap on corner points/ intersection points/ center points/ edges |
X | Temporary deactivation of all snap points. The snap functions for the next point are switched off. This makes it possible to snap to an edge right next to a “magnetic” end point or center point. |
F4 | Mark Inliner/Outliner after Horizontation |
F10 | Visibility intersection and construction lines |
F11 | Visibility measure lines |
Ctrl + M | Distance measure point to active plane |
F5 | Refresh the project list |
Ctrl + C | Copy the selected opening or column |
Ctrl + S | Save the currently loaded project |
Ctrl + Z | Undo |
Ctrl + Y | Redo |
F12 | Screenshot |
Spacebar | Change intersection point when copying |
Input value | When drawing measuring lines / measuring angles / parallel construction lines / columns an input dialog appears. For example, measuring lines with a given length, supports with a given height, etc. can be constructed. |
Ctrl + K | Coordinate system on/off |
Enter | Finish construction polygon, column |
Escape | Cancel current construction |
Entf | Delete the selected element |
