Point Selection in m360 images

Understand the unique properties of m360 images

An m360 image consists of two 360° images captured at the same location. One image is captured at approximately eye level, while the second is captured approximately 2 metres from the floor. This provides you with an additional viewpoint that often reveals areas that would otherwise be obscured by equipment, structures, or other assets.

You know you're in an m360 image when you see the ˄ icon in the Toolbar. Click on it to toggle between the upper and lower images.

Notice the additional detail that becomes visible in the upper image view.

The known vertical separation between these two images enables R2S to calculate spatial information. By following a simple process to identify the same point in both images, you can measure objects and accurately position information within the visual model.

Placing a Note in an m360.

Walkthrough this interactive guide to see how the upper and lower images are used to locate the Note in 3D space.

The same process applies when adding Tags or Tasks in an m360 image.

Finding a co-ordinate.

You can also extract coordinates using the Point tool in the Measurement Panel. It uses exactly the same process.

Follow this interactive guide to see how.

The same principle applies to measuring in m360 images. Have a look at the Measuring in m360 guide for further information.
