Use the Map to navigate through models in the BIM 360 Glue mobile app.
The Map is a navigation tool that locates your current position in the model, and helps you navigate to different locations. By displaying your model in a map view mode, you can move easily across a floor plan and jump to different floor levels, and then switch back to the model view to see your position in a 3D context.
Whilst panning and zooming the view, the Map helps orient you by displaying an arrow to indicate the viewpath or direction you are facing. Then once you have selected a position on the Map, you can easily switch to that same position, but on another level of the building.
Your model must contain grid lines in order to use Map tools.
To Display Grid Lines in Map
- In the Model view, tap Profile menu
Settings. - In Settings, go to Grid and slide Show Grid Lines in Map to the On position.
To Find your Current Location
