VSite AR: Main Menu (KB-AM008)

The main menu provides a primary list of functions and settings that are available to the app user using vSite AR. To access the main menu, tap on the bottom left button as shown in Fig. 1. This button is available in both overhead and AR view, but not in calibration mode. To exit the main menu, either tap the “X” in the upper right-hand corner or swipe down (Fig 2.).

Issues

If a team/ project has been assigned any issues, they can be located by tapping the main menu Issues button (1). When tapped, a new menu will appear with a list of all Issues. Users can filter and search through existing issues, or create a new one using the “+” icon. See Issues in vSite AR. 

GNSS

This button is only applicable if you have a GNSS device connected to your viewing device. Selecting the ON button will calibrate the projections relative to your GNSS device’s accuracy (2a). To reset offsets that were made during setup, tap the button in 2b of Fig. 2. Read more about setting GNSS Offsets here. Finally, the positioning mode button is a quick way to select the GNSS option (2c).

DTM

Selecting this button will enable the projections to be projected relative to the selected Digital Terrain Model (3). See How to Add a Digital Terrain Model in order to use this option.

 

3D and Surface Lines

This building-looking button takes on the name of the selected option (4). By default “3D and Surface Lines” are selected, but the user has several options to choose from in how the projections are displayed.

The setting options are:

  • 3D and Surface Lines (default) will represent underground objects with a dashed surface line, and a 3D object at the appropriate depth.
  • 3D underground objects will be shown at depth without surface lines.
  • 3D Above-Ground will only show only objects located above ground in 3D.
  • Surface Lines will represent underground objects with a solid surface line only. The object at depth will be shown only when the surface line is selected by the crosshair.

Edge Outlines

This button takes on the name of the selected option (5). It allows the user to choose the way area projections appear including high-contrast solutions. Choose between Wireframe, Grid, and Edge Outlines. 

Team Selector

If a user belongs to multiple teams (or projects), they will be given the option to switch team from the main menu, by selecting the card with the team’s logo (6). They will not need to recalibrate and their session settings will be saved. For more information, see Company Team and Project Selection.

Options

There are several configurations and preferential settings that are key to operating the vSite AR application (7). For a detailed explanation of the Options, see vSite AR Option Settings.

Recalibrate

Selecting Recalibrate will initiate the calibration process whether users have GNSS or their device's GPS (8). All of your previous calibration settings will be reset. See Calibration.

Help

Selecting Help will open a web browser to the vGIS Support Center where users can select between FAQs, Quick Start Guides, Tips and Tricks, and access to the vGIS Knowledge base (9).
