Street View

This document explains how to view and navigate street view data in the viewport.

What is Street View?

Street View is a 360-degree panorama or regular image captured from a specific location.

It is used as reference material when placing POIs or shapes while checking the actual appearance of the space.

Finding Street View Data

In AMapper For ARC eye, street view data is already loaded for each Location.

You can view it immediately without any additional setup.

You can find street view items in the provided Reference Stage.

1. Find the Reference Stage in the left Hierarchy Panel.
2. Check the StreetView underneath.
3. Toggle visibility with the icon.

Entering Street View Mode

Or click the icon in the toolbar.

Street View Mode Controls

When entering Street View Mode (S), street view capture locations are displayed in the viewport.

Selecting Capture Location

1. on a street view location marker displayed in the viewport.
2. A street view preview window opens in the top right of the screen.
3. Camera directions for each capture location are displayed radially.

Current Stage ROI Priority

Markers inside the current Stage's ROI are emphasized in that ROI's color and are picked first. Markers belonging to other ROIs or outside any ROI appear dimmed, so you can easily distinguish and select the street views of the stage you are working on.

Controlling Viewpoint

1. + in the preview window to control the street view camera direction.
2. For 360-degree panoramas, you can look around in all directions.
3. The camera frustum display in the viewport shows the current viewing direction.

Moving to Another Location

If there are multiple capture locations:

1. on another street view marker in the viewport to switch to that location.
2. Individual images within each capture group can also be selected.

Control Panel

When entering Street View Mode (S), the right Properties Panel switches to the street view controls.

Display

Adjusts how street view nodes (capture location markers) are drawn. These settings are kept as editor preferences rather than project data, and they apply to nodes rendered in other modes as well.

Option	Description
Node Size	Node size, chosen from Small / Medium / Large. (Default: Large)
Node Opacity	Opacity of non-emphasized nodes. (Default: 0.5)
Layer Color	When on, nodes follow the street view layer color. When off, a distinct color per dataset is used.

info

Node Opacity is capped at the emphasized node opacity (0.75), so a non-emphasized node never renders brighter than an emphasized one.

Selected Node

Shows information about the selected node. When nothing is selected it reads No node selected.

Item	Description
datasetId	Identifier of the street view dataset the node belongs to
id	Identifier of the street view item
groupIndex / arrowIndex	Capture group number and image number within the group
timestamp	Capture time
camera	Camera identifier
position	Capture position (X, Y, Z)
equirectangular	Whether the image is a 360-degree panorama
imageURL	Image address
