1. To view files on Asite Viewer, click the file name.

2. When you click on any 3D file, it opens that file in the online 3D viewer. To view the assembly file, the system will use the attached part file.

3. By default, any model that you open will be default in HD i.e. in fast rendering mode. In case you are using a low-memory device, you may click on 'SD' to switch to slow rendering mode for lesser memory consumption. You can always switch back to fast rendering mode by clicking on 'HD' if required.

4. For 3D viewing, various functional tools are available at the bottom of the view pane. You can perform the following functions.

4(a) Reset View - Reset the default view of the model by clicking the home icon.

4(b) Reset - To reset the model when using 'Measure' or 'Compare' features. Click on the reset icon to reset the model.

4(c) Navigation - Click the Navigation icon to expand available options if required. Currently, there are two navigation modes available.

- Stands for Orbit Navigation

- Stands for Walk Navigation

Orbit - Free orbit to navigate the model across the viewer area. Click and hold the mouse wheel to pan around the model. Scroll the mouse wheel forward or backwards to zoom in or zoom out of the model respectively. Zooming in is supported to an extent wherein you can view even small model parts or objects - for example, a cupboard handle. Moreover, 360° rotation is supported along with zooming in making sure you get an angular view of that particular model part or object.

Walk Mode - To navigate the model as in walk mode. Long press and move the mouse pointer to the direction you wish to walk forward. Scroll the mouse wheel forward or backwards to zoom in or zoom out of the model respectively. Zooming in is supported to an extent wherein you can view even small model parts or objects - for example, a cupboard handle.
While the walk mode is activated, you can click and hold the mouse wheel to pan around the model. Use the Shift+Left key to get up/down the focus of the camera.

4(d) Visual Style - View an object with different visual styles by clicking the appropriate option in the ribbon above the model view.

Click the Visual Style icon to expand available options if required. Currently, there are three visual styles available.

- Stands for Shaded with Edges

- Stands for Shaded

- Stands for Hidden Line

4(e) Measure - You can measure the distance between two points or an angle of a model, as well as set a calibration to define measurement unit and precision.

Click the Measure icon to expand available options if required. Currently, there are three measurement options available.

- Stands for Distance measurement.

To measure the distance between two points of the model. By default, any distance is measured in 'mm' - it can be changed using other available options from the 'Calibration' option.

- Stands for Angle measurement.

To measure the angle between three points based on the X-axis and the Y-axis. By default, any angle is measured in 'Degrees' - it can be changed using other available options from the 'Calibration' option.

- Stands for Area measurement.

To measure the distance of the selected area. By default, any area is measured in m2 (i.e. meter square). It can be changed using available options from the 'Calibration' option.

- Stands for Calibration.

To define a unit as well as precision for 'Distance' and 'Angle' measurements. Please note this will only be applicable as long as the model view is open. As soon as the model view is closed, the calibration will be reset to default settings. Available calibration options are:

Distance Calibration - Distance can be set in MM, CM, Meter, Inch, Feet, Fractional Feet, Fractional Feet & Inch.

Angle Calibration - Angle can be set in Degrees, Degrees - Minutes - Seconds, Radians.

Area Calibration - Area can be set in mm2, cm2, m2, in2, ft2, Acres, and Hectare.

Precision - Precision can be set to 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001, 0.00001.

You can continue navigating across the model while using the 'Measure' options; however, if you click on a navigation option - like 'Orbit' or 'Walk' - or use the 'Reset' option, that specific navigation mode will be enabled and you will need to click required measurement option again to make new measurements. Please note that any existing measurements made if any will not be affected while using navigation options. Clicking the 'Reset' option will stop the display of existing measurements made if any.
To undo any measurements created if required, click the 'Ctrl+Z' key combination.

4(f) Review - Click the cloud icon to expand available markup tools if required.

Markups - It allows you to create various markups in the 3D visualization pane by clicking on the appropriate option in the ribbon above the model view. There are various options to create different markups. It allows you to create various markups like - cloud, arrow, line, circle, rectangle, freehand and create text.

With every markup option, you can set configuration as applicable:

Markup configuration includes colour, line thickness, text size, and arrowhead. These configurations will work depending on the selected markup option. For example, colour and line thickness are generic options, and the text size and arrowhead are specifically meant for 'Text' and 'Arrow' markups respectively.

Save Markup - After creating any markup, save your markup by clicking the save (floppy disk) icon. Clicking on 'Save Markup', a 'Save As' prompt is displayed.

Enter the markup name and click 'Save' to continue.

4(g) Analysis - Click the Analysis icon to expand available options if required. Currently, there are three analysis modes available.

- Stands for Cutting Planes.

It enables you to cut models within X, Y and Z directions by creating a cutting plane. Cutting plane options are the same as the model cutting plane in Asite Navigator. You are also able to select a cutting plane, rotate it in any direction, and move the plane using the slider.

- Stands for Show Model Colors.

It enables you to apply colours on selected model objects. Select the concerned model object, right click and select the 'Assign Color' option, An option to pick a colour will appear under the 'Show Model Colors' icon. Select a colour and click 'Apply'. Next, click again on the 'Show Model Colors' icon to view the model object with the updated colour. Model objects with the same GUID in multiple revisions of the same model record will show with same color irrespective of the selected model revision. Once a colour is assigned, the right-click options for that particular model object would change to 'Edit Color' and 'Remove Color', allowing you to edit or remove colour from selected model objects.

- Stands for Show Navigation Map.

It enables you to view a map of the model plan while you are navigating across the model. This map would appear at the bottom right side of the model when navigating.

- Stands for Explode.

It enables you to view the exploded view of the whole model assembly. You can explode the assembly using the explode slider.
