• • 1 (Lowest Quality): The most basic rendering level, ideal for quickly viewing the model or when the device performance is limited.
  • 6 (Highest Quality): The best image quality and detail display, but it may significantly impact software performance.

Annotation

Press one of the architectural scenes to enter the annotation page.

Architectural scene interface

In the architectural scene interface, when you first open it, you will find yourself in roaming mode by default. Once you have added QR codes, you can choose to open the architectural scene in MR mode (Mixed Reality).

Roaming mode

In roaming mode, the control tools for scene navigation include the following: These control options allow you to roam freely through the architectural scene and adjust the viewing angle and camera height as needed for a better observation and experience.

• • Horizontal movement joystick: Positioned in the bottom left corner, this joystick lets you move the camera horizontally in different directions across the architectural scene. Simply slide the joystick to move the camera accordingly.
  • Viewing angle joystick: Similar to the horizontal movement joystick, the one in the bottom right corner is used to rotate the camera, altering your viewing angle.
  • Up and Down Arrows: Additionally, there are arrows on the interface for adjusting the camera’s vertical position. Use these buttons to raise or lower the camera, changing the height of your perspective.

MR Mode

Geometry

Geometry refers to the structural hierarchy of all components in the architectural scene. When you select a particular component model, it becomes visible, and deselecting it hides it. For instance, some walls situated in construction paths might be built in the later stages. During inspection, it is important to hide these yet-to-be-constructed walls for a clearer view. Therefore, selectively hiding certain components becomes essential.

QR code list

The QR code list comprises positioning QR codes in the architectural scene. Users can create more QR codes to quickly “land” on the target position.

You can edit and add QR codes in the QR code list.

List of annotations

The annotation list documents the records, marks, and annotation content for each component. The list is categorized into two panels: My Annotations and All Annotations.

My annotations: Displays annotations created by the user.

• • Annotation positioning button: To locate the corresponding component, simply click the button. In roaming mode, switch the view to the recorded component’s location by clicking the positioning button for an annotation. In MR mode, clicking the positioning button will reveal a navigation arrow in the scene, guiding you to the recorded component’s location.
  • View comment button: denotes that the annotation has comments, and a red dot in the upper right corner acts as a notification for new comments.

All Annotations: Shows annotation names and the creator’s icon (displaying the user’s initials or the first character of their Chinese name).

• • Annotation positioning button: To locate the corresponding component, simply click the button. In roaming mode, switch the view to the recorded component’s location by clicking the positioning button for an annotation. In MR mode, clicking the positioning button will reveal a navigation arrow in the scene, guiding you to the recorded component’s location.
  • View comment button: denotes that the annotation has comments, and a red dot in the upper right corner acts as a notification for new comments.

Resource list

The Resource List interface provides easy access to all 2D and 3D resources in the FactVerse service platform resource library. This includes 2D reference drawings, images, and 3D reference models. You can select and add desired resources from the list to enrich and support your scenes. For more details, refer to the section on Add auxiliary resources.

Component information panel

In the architectural scene, selecting a component highlights its edges, and simultaneously, an information panel pops up displaying the BIM (Building Information Modeling) data information of the component.

Component annotation panel

In the architectural scene, when you select a component, click the annotation button in the toolbar on the right. This action will open the annotation panel for the component, allowing you to view, add, edit, and delete annotations, as well as make comments for the annotations.
