In this guide, we'll walk you through how to effectively transition from 3D data annotations to a 2D ortho-mosaic for precise navigation instructions.
Overview
Navigating between 3D data and 2D ortho-mosaics is crucial for various applications like surveying, mapping, and construction. Here, we'll show you the steps to annotate in 3D and get those annotations visible in your 2D ortho-mosaic for seamless navigation instructions.
Steps to Annotate and Navigate
- Open Your Project: Ensure your project is loaded and contains both 3D and 2D views.
- Switch to 3D View: Navigate to the 3D view to add annotations.
- Add Annotation Point:
- Click on the measurements tool.
- Select "Add Point."
- Place the point in your 3D data.
- Rename the point for easier identification.
- Save the annotation.
- View the Annotation in 2D: Switch to the 2D map view to see your annotated point accurately mapped.
- Get Navigation Instructions:
- Click on the measurements icon.
- Locate the annotation point.
- Click on the navigation icon to open Google Maps with precise directions to your location.
