Features

Drone allows you to visualise a 3D reconstruction of your site from a drone mapping (photogrammetry). 🗺️

🧭 Navigation Tools

To explore the view, use the navigation tools at the lower left side to enter full screen, zoom in/out & and reset the view.

You can also use your mouse wheel to zoom in/out.

Left-click on your mouse, hold and orbit around the model.

Right-click and drag to pan through the view.

📷 Access Live Camera View

You can access all basic Evercam features by clicking on the camera markers to take you to the live camera view.

🧰 Drone Tools

  1. To see the site from above, you can use the 2D Mode tool, which has a seamless transition from 3D Mode as it is the same scene.

  1. To track progress on site, you can use the Compare tool and choose between comparing two drone flights (available when there is more than one flight). The Compare can also be exported to a GIF and will be saved in the Media Hub.

  1. You can quantify distances and heights (with a 5% margin of error) using the Distance Measuring Tool.

  1. You can quantify areas (with a 5% margin of error) using the Area Measuring Tool.

  1. You can estimate stockpiles and materials on-site using our Volume Measuring Tool.

Note: We use an Elevation Map, so it would be best to use the 2D view for volumetric measuring to get the best result with minimal marginal error.

For calculating volume, we use the Line of Best Fit method.

  • Cut = anything above the ground

  • Fill = anything below the ground

  1. To highlight information for other users, you can create (and hide) annotations on the model using the Tagging tool.

Choose the tag type (Info, Danger, Restricted, Hyperlink) for easier coordination.

Tags can be deleted anytime by selecting the tag and clicking the trash bin icon that will appear.

  1. You can enable the Inspection Tool to click on any point for the Viewer to generate the four (4) closest images related to that point.

    You can click on any image in the right-side panel to further inspect it and even mark it up, as the .jpeg image has a higher resolution than the mesh model.

⚒️ Cross-Platform Features

  1. Upload a drone flight directly from the dashboard. ⬆️

    We only support .JPG/ .JPEG files.

  1. To share the specific drone flight, click the Share button (arrow) to copy the URL that can be pasted on an email, a message, a browser, etc.

  2. To share the image with other users, you can use the Mark up tool to capture a screenshot and place text or drawings.

  1. To view the BIM and to check out the surrounding buildings, enable the BIM feature.

    Requires Platform Level BIM Viewer in the project.

  1. To access the weather information for the date of the flight, click on the Weather button and choose the specific date you would like to view.

⚙️ Drone Settings

  1. You can change the quality (SD, HD, 4K) of the drone image.

The change of quality can be noticed when you’re zoomed out from the model. Turning on 4K quality means you want the best possible quality (similar to the zoomed-in one) everywhere on the model. But, this puts a lot of strain on your machine, so use it with caution.

  1. You can change the background map style.

  1. If you would like to see the surrounding buildings in 3D, toggle ON the OSM (Open Street Map) feature.

  2. To view all the flight images, click the arrow beside “Flight Images”.

    The total number of images is displayed.

  1. If you would like to see the drone flight clearly without occlusions, you can hide the camera markers and tags by unchecking the box.

  1. A help button is available on the right-side panel anytime you need info on the features.

☑️ Optional Features

  1. View your site/floor plans in 2D mode.

    Send the plans to 3d@evercam.io so we can include them in the view.

2. We can support Point Cloud Models.

A point cloud is usually easier to stream, render, and overall, interact with. Since we won't be using Lidar cameras to make them, the high-level accuracy that Point Clouds are known for, will not always be guaranteed. This means their measuring operations like volume will still be linked to the 2D Digital Elevation Model (a 3D representation of a terrain's surface created from terrain elevation data), and will give similar results to Mesh-based models.

  1. If you have 360 walks or 360 aerial shots, we can integrate them into the Drone view.

    1. To view the 360 aerial view, click the violet marker to see the preview, then click the drone icon beside the “Aerial shot” to view the actual 360 aerial shot.

b. To view the 360 walk, click on any of the blue dots to view the preview, then click the person icon beside “360 Panorama” to enter the actual 360 walk.
