The Options Menu in vSite AR (Fig. 1) allows users to tailor their experience across three main categories: GNSS Options, Scene Options, and System Options.

Fig. 1

GNSS Options

Access the GNSS Options menu to configure location and positioning settings.

The GNSS settings determine the user’s default positioning method. This setting is saved between sessions.

Tilt Compensation

Disabled by default.
When enabled, a calibration popup appears showing pitch and roll values.
Tap Set to save once the proper values are shown.
Helps maintain accurate object alignment when the device is tilted.

GNSS Warnings

Changes which GNSS warning messages are displayed to the user. There are three options:

All: Displays all warning messages.
None: Does not display any warning messages.
Data Collection: displays only warnings related to data collection.

RTK Settings

Opens a submenu for RTK configuration.
Enter necessary details such as Domain/IP, Port, Username, and Password.
Click here for more on GNSS setup and configuration.

Use GNSS Elevation

Available for all positioning modes except “vGIS/QR.”
Uses elevation data provided by the GNSS device.

GNSS Pole Height

Input the antenna height in centimeters (relative to ground level).

Offsets

Adjust the offsets between your camera and GNSS device, either via sliders or by double-tapping and manually entering values.

Scene Options

Use the Scene Options menu to adjust how AR content appears in your environment.

Selection Distance

Defines the maximum viewable range for 3D assets.

Default: 125m / 400ft
Reduce this value if models take longer to load.

BIM Projections

Enabled by default.
Allows BIM models to be displayed in AR. Can be disabled as needed.

Depth Indicators

Default: Surface Offset
Displays object depth when targeting sub-surface assets.
Measurement reference can be: Digital Terrain Model (DTM), Predefined Depth, or None (to disable the feature).

Projection Type

Default: Dashed lines
Determines how surface projections are displayed. Surface projections are lines that show where above or below ground attributes are relative to the ground surface.
Optionally change to solid surface lines for underground pipes.

Projection Autosize

Expands the width of projections to visually represent the actual asset size.

Proximity Indicator

Dynamically adjusts projection brightness based on user proximity: Closer = brighter, Farther = dimmer.

Object Outline

Enabled by default.
Highlights objects with a blue outline when targeted by the crosshair.

System Options

Configure general app behavior and user interface preferences.

Language

Select the language used for system menus and messages.

Measurement System

Choose between Metric or Imperial.

Saved between sessions.
Default may be set by your organization’s administrator.

Launch Screen

Choose the screen that opens at app startup:

Map: Opens the 2D map view (with option to switch to AR).
Augmented Reality: Opens directly into AR mode (may require calibration).

Height Display

Toggle between Ellipsoidal and Orthometric elevation displays.

Callout Type

Select the position of the callout bubble in AR view, which displays object data.

AR Data Collection

Toggles the allowance of data collection while in AR view.

DC Surface Visualization

Projects a surface during scanning to improve scan accuracy and visual feedback.

DC Axis Lines

Toggles the display of DC axis lines.

DC Snapping Radius

Determines the snapping radius for data collection while in AR mode.

Map DC Snapping Radius

Determines the snapping radius for data collection in Map Mode, measured in pixels.

Show Left Slider

Allows the user to toggle the left slider on and off in AR view. See more in AR Sliders.

Show Right Slider

Allows the user to toggle the right slider on and off in AR view. See more in AR Sliders.

Display GNSS Accuracy

If a GNSS device is connected, enable to display its accuracy directly in AR.

Display Compass

Shows a compass at your feet in AR when you point the crosshair downward. This setting is saved between sessions.

Display GNSS Location

Enable to display your GNSS location while using vSite AR.

Display Oriented Images

Enable to display oriented images.

App Version

Displays the currently installed version of vSite AR.

Tip: Keep the app updated for optimal performance and compatibility.

Log Out

Signs you out of the current session and returns you to the login screen.
