Environment Options

Each of the navigation options can be access through the menu on the Navigation toolbar. The most common options; pan, zoom and orbit and be used directly from a wheel mouse.

Camera Positions (Aerial Workflow)

The Camera Positions icon switches the display of glyphs which show the position and attitude of the camera for each photograph used to reconstruct the 3D model. If camera data is not present in the model, the icon will not be selectable. Hovering over a glyph will cause a tooltip to appear which bears the name of the image captured from that position. The '+' and '-' keys can be used to increase or decrease the size of the glyphs.

Hotkey: K

Set Theme

There are two themes; day and night that can be switched to better see the model for editing.

Environment Toggle

The Environment toggle can be turned on as a bounding box or as a grid at the origin plane. The two modes cannot be displayed at the same time. The hotkey will cycle between the two options and off.

Hotkey: B

Orthographic Projection

By default, ReCap Photo displays the model using a perspective view. As an option Orthographic projection can be used instead which can sometimes be helpful for selection.

Hotkey: O

Obit Gimbal

Engaging the Orbit gimbal option removes the ViewCube from the screen and presents four circular manipulators. The manipulators are used to control the view position of the model. The three colored manipulators will rotate the model view about the primary axes of the model. The fourth, graph manipulator will rotate the view normal to the canvas.
