If poor lighting is making it too dark to see, the new 'Brighten Up' function will automatically enhance the brightness of panoramic images. You can find the button in the top-right menu bar of SiteView's Capture Viewer.
Once activated, this adjustment applies to all panoramic images within SiteView, regardless of their level or capture date. So, if it becomes too bright, don't forget to turn the function off.
We've introduced a new Member Role called the SiteView Observer. This role grants users restricted View-only access to shared SiteViews, without the ability to Create or Edit. Here's a breakdown of what SiteView Observers can and cannot do:
We've enhanced the usability and clarity of the SiteInsights Dashboard. We've relocated filters and menus to more prominent locations, making it effortless to access your desired data. Moreover, we've introduced tooltips to provide explanations for key terms, simplifying your data understanding.
Discover the newly updated SiteInsights Dashboard. The new SiteInsights Dashboard will provide Overview and Completion Details pages, granting you a quick overview of project advancement or the opportunity to delve into specific category developments using synchronized BIM models.
The Overview page provides a clearer snapshot of project progress. Benefit from refined representations of overall advancement—presented as percentages or quantities within subcategories. This improvement ensures a comprehensive understanding of project development.
The Completion Details page provides a comprehensive view of category progress based on status and phase. Moreover, the new Reality Check feature assists you in gaining a deeper understanding of specific category advancements by utilizing color-coded BIM models synchronized with the Capture Viewer.
The capturing process has been streamlined into just two steps: ①Start Video Walk and ②Stop Video Walk. There's no longer a need for ③marking the final position.
Other Cupix Capture Lite Updates
DepthPick™ is a unique point-picking approach developed by Cupix. This feature enables you to effortlessly select 3D Coordinates within a 360° panoramic image with just a single click. Unlike the previous Stereo-matching method, DepthPick™ allows a seamless selection of 3D Coordinates on edges or corners, even on flat surfaces lacking distinct patterns or textures. By rendering the process of selecting 3D coordinates more user-friendly and intuitive, DepthPick™ enhances the overall usability of functions that demand 3D coordinate selection, such as dimension measuring.
Using DepthPick™ is simple. If a Capture has a 3D Dollhouse in it, all you need to do is click on the desired spot, and the correlated 3D Coordinate will be automatically selected by Cupix AI.
However, if there is no Dollhouse or if the Dollhouse exists but there is insufficient geometry at the selected point, the Stereo-matching method will be initiated for point picking.
SiteView now incorporates Volume Measurement functionality and enables measurements directly from the Capture Viewer or via the 3D Dollhouse within the Plan Viewer. Thanks to Cupix's advanced 3D mapping technology, documenting the jobsite has become an effortless task and offers both accuracy and convenience. With the advent of the new Volume Measurement feature, a realm of possibilities unfolds before you: from calculating rough estimates like earth cut and fill to excavation and optimizing cargo space, or even evaluating crop growth, all these tasks can be accomplished right from the confines of your workspace.
Measuring Volume is straightforward: by simply defining a Base Plane, the tool automatically computes both the mass above the plane's surface and the space below it. For step-by-step guidance on specifying the Base Plane, please refer to the short guide videos below.
This method is the easiest and most fundamental way to measure volume in SiteView.
This method comes in handy when there's not enough geometry around the subject you want to measure for placing points. This method can also be used when a common reference plane is needed to facilitate easy comparison between measured volumes.
Our newly introduced feature allows you to save and share Measured Dimensions effortlessly with other members invited to the SiteView. When a dimension is measured, it will get sorted based on its Capture Date, mirroring the organization of Annotation. When you click on a measurement from the list, you will be promptly directed to the Measured Location. This not only facilitates a closer examination of the dimension but also enhances your comprehension of the surrounding environment. For added convenience in sharing, you can make use of the Deeplink located in the Share menu at the lower left corner of the Site View, ensuring seamless collaboration with colleagues whenever the need arises.
Users can now adjust the opacity of the 3D Dollhouse. This functionality is particularly valuable when comparing various floor plans with 3D Dollhouses. By making simple adjustments to the opacity of the 3D Dollhouse, users can easily observe information from 2D plans, such as dimensions and markups, as they are projected onto the floor of the 3D Dollhouse.
The latest update introduces the ability for users to modify the X, Y, and Z clipping planes within the 3D Dollhouse. By incorporating this new feature, users can attain more concentrated and intricate insights into the actual constructed state and can conduct deliberate analysis of distinct components such as walls, floors, and columns effortlessly. This capability becomes exceptionally beneficial in scenarios comparing 3D Dollhouse and BIM models. It allows for accurate assessment and also is invaluable when strategically situating BIM objects within the spatial constraints of the 3D Dollhouse.
