Augmented Reality Alignment Menus

The alignment menu allows the user to make adjustments to the 3D model in order to align the position of the model with the actual material. This process normally takes 2–3 minutes and should result in a near-perfect match between the digital assembly and the actual assembly.

Here you can learn more about the menu parts and their functionality.

Most of the Menu Buttons will expand/hide the submenu controls.

Expandable buttons:

Controls (Contrôles) – opens the alignment controls to adjust the position of the 3D Object.

Select Part – allows the user to select a different part for the alignment to the QR target.

Visuals (Visuels) – opens the Visuals’ panel, where the user can select the view/hide parts and adjust the opacity and outline.

ou Home/Change device – exits the Augmented Reality feature and allows changing the device.

Tools – expands a menu with orientation, mapping and other tools.

Info Toggle – displays the button names for easy reference.

Non-expandable buttons:

Minimize – takes to the drawings and 3D viewer/main feature area.

Closes all opened settings to clear the assembly view.

You can learn more about expandable buttons in the sections below.

Information

Selecting the menu button when a sub-menu is displayed will hide all other buttons and the submenu to keep the viewing area clear.

Opacity – Adjust the opacity of the 3D Object (100, 75, 50, 0)

Outline – Adds an outline to the 3D 0bject (as shown in picture).

Note

At 0% opacity, the outline is displayed by default.
