To Open an i-model into Visual Navigator

  1. Locate the i-model you want to open by:

    Searching or browsing the community for the document containing i-model(s) you want to open.

    or

    Searching or browsing the community for the tag(s) related to the i-models you want to open.

    or

    Going to your basket, if the relevant documents or tags are already in your basket.

  2. Select the relevant document or tag, then select Display in Visual Navigator.

    For example:

    In the search results list, check the check box next to a document or tag, then click the Display in Visual Navigator link in the Media section of the Task pane. This opens another page for you to select the specific i-model you want to open. Go to step 3.

    or

    With a document's details open in the content pane, expand the Files topic. Find the row containing the i-model you want to open and in the Actions column, place your pointer over the Actions icon and select Display in Visual Navigator. The selected i-model opens in Visual Navigator.

    or

    In your basket, check the check box next to the document or tag and select Media > Display in Visual Navigator. This opens another page for you to select the specific i-model you want to open. Go to step 3.

  3. If an additional selection page opens, click the name of the specific i-model you want to open.

    The selected i-model opens in Visual Navigator.

When you open an i-model into Visual Navigator by selecting one of the i-model's related AssetWise tags, the viewer inside Visual Navigator automatically highlights and zooms in on the related tag in the model. When you open an i-model into Visual Navigator by selecting the document containing the i-model, the viewer inside Visual Navigator displays the model in its default perspective (the perspective the i-model was created with).

All of the i-model's related AssetWise tags are listed hierarchically in the Tree View pane. You can click any tag in this pane and it will highlight and zoom in on the related tag in the model. Selecting items in the model displays information about that item on the tabs below the viewer.

When Visual Navigator opens, it replaces the current AssetWise Web window. When you are ready to close the i-model and return to the AssetWise Web window, click the Switch to eB view button in the upper right corner of Visual Navigator.
