How to set up Locations

Introduction

Location let's you organize your project by configurating Model locations or Map. It lets you upload and manage multiple model locations within a single project. What counts as a model location is flexible: it can be a building, floor, wing, zone, or any other defined area, depending on your project’s size and/or how the files are organized. Locations make navigation, filtering, and viewing easier on both the web and in the mobile app.

The locations list also contains the Map alongside your Model locations. The first part of this article covers setting up Model locations. The new Map setup section at the end covers the map side.

Below you’ll find an introduction to how you can set up and manage your locations:

User Guide

Open Model location setup

Open the Location page from the main navigation bar on the left.
Click "Configure" () at the top right above the location viewer.
By default, a nameless model location exists. Click the three-dot ( ) menu on the card to:
- Edit: Change/add the title and optionally add a short description.
- Delete: Read the warning about consequences, and confirm if you want to delete.

Create a new location

Click "+ Add new location" () at the top right.
Enter a title and optionally a description. Save.

Open and configure a location

Click the model location card in the list to go to the page for the selected location.
To change the title/description later, use the three-dot menu in the top right.

Add disciplines and files

Click "+ New" () to add a discipline (for example Architectural, Structural, Electrical). Give it a clear name that describes the content.
The discipline appears in the list. Click "Add version" to upload an IFC or point cloud file.
Repeat for all disciplines that belong to the location.

View the model

When the file has been processed, it appears in the model viewer on the left.

Note! Deleting can affect content that linked or related to the to the relevant discipline or model location.

Tips!

Use short, clear names for locations (for example Building A, Floor 3, Zone East).
Use the description to explain what the location covers (area, construction stage, etc.).

Configuring the Map

The locations list contains a Map entry alongside your Model locations. Map is a single root — there is one Map per workspace or project. The Map area is a geographic region defined by a centre point and a radius. The area control which part of the world your project covers, and they also determine what gets downloaded to the Interaxo Capture mobile app for offline use.

Open the Map setup

1. Open the Locations page.

2. Click the Map entry in the list.

3. The Map page opens. If Map has not been configured yet, you'll see an empty state explaining that you need to define the Map area before the map becomes available to users both online and offline.

Define the Map area

1. Click + Select area in the top right.

2. A full-screen map opens with a circle to indicate the map area.

3. Pan and zoom on the map until you can see the geographic region you want to cover.

4. When the circle covers the region you want, click Select area at the bottom of the map.

5. The Map area is now defined in the project and available for online and offline usage.
