Point clouds

The Digital twin supports point clouds of your site as well as IFC models. Add them to the scene from the Models tab of the side panel, then frame, adjust and measure them like any other layer.

360 panoramas in E57 scans

If your digital twin includes a point cloud from an E57 scan, VisionHub shows the spots where each capture was taken, the 360 stations. From any of them you can enter its panorama and see the site as it was photographed, and jump from one station to another.

Large E57 files are converted on the server before they can be opened; until then they can’t be added to the scene.

How to use it

Open the Digital twin and add the point cloud to the scene.
You will see the stations as semi-transparent balls, with their distance from you (the nearest ones appear).
Click a ball to enter its 360 view.
Drag to look around and use the wheel to zoom.
Click another ball to jump to that station.
Press Esc to leave and go back to the point cloud.
