What can I do with a snapshot?

The Snapshot Gallery panel displays all snapshots created using a Hexagon 3D model. These snapshots appear as cards below the toolbar.

Using the Snapshot Gallery, you can:

  • Filter listed snapshots by owner.

  • Create a new snapshot.

  • Update, terminate, or delete a snapshot using the Actions menu.

  • Click the thumbnail to zoom to that area in the model view.

  • Click the Markup Layers link to view, modify, or add markup layers.

  • Click the drop-down arrow to view snapshot properties.

If open, collapsing the Snapshot Gallery panel closes the Actions menu.
