The Underground tool visualizes Project elements located below the ground surface. A selection of elements currently visualized:
- Subway system
- Underground parking garage
- Tree roots
- Net lines
- Basements of buildings
- Subterranean storage facilities, including hazardous material storage.
- Building foundations like piles
What is it used for?
The underground view displays various infrastructural and building elements that impact spatial planning. For example, it can show net lines that might intersect with tree roots. This allows planners to avoid obstacles or discuss potential bottlenecks with stakeholders. Another example can be the storage of hazardous materials and the planning of a new subway line which passes close by or intersects it.
Activation and Navigation
There are currently 3 ways to show the Underground of a Project.
- Use the see-through button in the navigation menu on the right side of the viewer. This will toggle an X-ray view where the Underground is visible through the upper terrain.
- Navigate to streetview and press the "space" button. This will make the camera drop to below level where the underground is visible. The above ground terrain is still transparently visible. This improves orientation.
- Use the "CTRL-0" combination on your keyboard or the "Free Cam" tool to navigate freely with your camera. This allows you to move below the surface by dragging the camera downwards. This option provides maximum flexibility for camera navigation.
