View & Navigate 360° Images

Tobias Patek
  • Updated

Overview

Image points on a run can be selected to view the corresponding 360° image.

View 360° images, change the viewing angle, select a different time/run of the same image point and more.

Compare mode enables side-by-side display of two 360° images from different runs, making it easy to see differences between two points in time.

Read more about the PlanRadar SiteView feature.

Still images basically work the same like other 360° images from a run, except there is no Jump to Next/Previous image point of a Run. Read more in SiteView 360° Still Images.

Access & Permissions

SiteView is available for Starter, Pro and Enterprise accounts. Read more in Pricing and Subscription.
The feature only becomes available after you Activate SiteView in the Webapp.

To view and navigate 360° images, you need an in-house user with a role permission to view runs in SiteView.
To delete a run photo, you need a role permission to create runs in SiteView.
Read more in Permissions.

Subcontractors and watchers can see all runs of their projects. Subcontractors can only see tickets that are assigned to them or if they are set as receivers.

Image Points & 360° Images

Image Point Icons

There are five icons to visualise the state of an image point on the plan:

Start position: Where the recording of the run began.
Time machine: Combined image points from multiple runs in different points in time.
Normal image point: Contains a single 360° image
End position: Where the recording of the run ended.
Selected image point: Indicates the current viewing direction of the 360° image.
Still image Single still image taken manually without a run.
Selected still image Currently selected still image.

Image point icons are red instead of blue when the image point has at least one ticket or at least one run photo.
Also see Add Tickets to 360° Images in the Webapp and Run Photos on 360° Images below.

Run photos do not have their own icon on the plan. They sit inside the 360° image of an image point, which turns red.
