ContextCapture User Guide

Photo Navigation

Use this mode to link the 3D models and the photos. You can navigate through the photos and see the fit to corresponding viewpoints in the 3D model.

Photo Navigation mode

Enable the photo panel from the View Layout menu for a better user experience.

Click on the 3D model or on the photo panel to specify a target point, get the best photos viewing this point in the bottom ribbon, and locate the target simultaneously on the 3D model and on the photo.

The selected photo on the right fits to the selected target in the 3D view. Use the auto-sync photo panel mode to synchronize photo when target is moved in the 3D view.

View point in the 3D view fits the selected target in the photo. Use the auto-sync 3D view mode to synchronize 3D display when target is moved on the photo. Use the Zoom on photo button to reset initial view point in the 3D view on the selected target in the photo.

Thumbnails show the photos actually viewing the target and sorted by preference. Disabling the target restores all photos.

Enable Fast Filtering mode to ignore occlusion for photo filtering and sorting.

In Photo Navigation mode you also can display a 3D model previously produced from this block if the format is supported. You can select the displayed 3D mesh from the Display Styles drawer.
