Add Markers and Annotations to Your Architectural Scene

This guide introduces the features and functionality of DataMesh Inspector, including how to deploy your scene in MR (Mixed Reality) mode. You can realize scene navigation by adding markers, collaboration annotations, and other key functions, addressing needs such as construction supervision and troubleshooting during building projects.

Add markers for the scene

  1. If you need to perform area-based inspections within the scene, you can add markers to divide the scene into different sections.
  2. Click '+ Add', adjust the viewpoint to position the marker, then click to place it and name it.
  3. You can also click on [⋯] to rename, reposition, or delete existing markers.
  4. When you return to the scene homepage, you can quickly navigate to any location by selecting the target marker.

Filtering infrastructurein the scene by system or category

  • Select the model layers you want to display in the Geometry on the left. Layers that are unchecked will not appear. By default, all layers are selected.

Add auxiliary resources

  1. If you need to refer to layout plans, review documentation, or place models during construction supervision, you can add auxiliary resources to the scene for easy access at any time.
  2. First, upload the auxiliary resources to the DataMesh FactVerse resource library.
  3. Click the "Resources" button, navigate to "Select resources-Add to the scene", and place the resource in the scene after attaching it to a component. You can click on any auxiliary resource to adjust its orientation or perform other modifications.

MR mode collaborationannotations

  1. After adding markers, when you re-enter the scene, you can select the target markerand scan the Inspector Marker to enter MR mode for viewing and quick navigation.
  2. In MR mode, as you move your handheld device, the system will continuously load components based on your position, updating the scene in real-time to match your field of view.
  3. To add an annotation, select the equipmentto be maintained, click the "Annotation" button, then select "Add Annotation" to add text or image-based notes.

Retrospect inspection

  1. On the Annotation page, select the architecturalscene you want to review, and you'll be able to view the details. Click "To Check" to enter the scene for verification.
  2. Once enter the scene, enable the annotation browser, then click on the annotation list on the left under "All Annotations" to view and leave comments. Click on any annotation to quickly jump to that location for a follow-up inspection.

Export annotation record

  1. You can export annotation records from the DataMesh FactVerse platform.
  2. Click "Work of Acceptance" on the left menu, then go to "Annotation Task Management". After associating an architecturalscene, you can view all its annotation records in the scene.
  3. Clickthe detail button of the file, choose the annotation records, and export the list in Excel format. 

With DataMesh Inspector, you can quickly navigate using scene markers, add auxiliary resources, and collaborate through annotations. It’s ideal for industries like construction supervision and equipment maintenance. We hope you make the most of it to improve both your efficiency and experience!
