Open SiteView

Upon logging into your Cupix account, the Map View is displayed by default. To open a specific SiteView, double-click Capture you want to explore or click the Open once you've selected the Capture. You might need to reduce the zoom in your browser to see the open button in early versions of the software.

Default Layout Overview

SiteView's default layout starts out in the Aerial Mode which shows the 3D model. 

Main View

The Main View displays a single capture viewer, which consists of the following components:

1. Main Viewer: Displays a 360° pano by default, allowing a virtual tour to explore as-built site conditions in detail.
2. 360 Pano View: Displays the Plan Viewer by default, showing the project's reference plans along with pano bubbles (markers indicating the locations of captured 360° pano). You can select pano bubbles in the reference plan to move to a different capture point.
3. Location Indicator: Displays information about the current capture, including the capture label, level, date, and work area/room (if applicable). You can select a different capture, or search for and select the work area or room you want to navigate.
4. View Mode: Switch between different viewing options to explore your site data.
   • Aerial Mode: This is the default view in the Capture Viewer. The overhead view allows you to see the entire 3D Dollhouse or point cloud, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the site’s layout and structure.
