Navigating your Walk in Explore (Beta)

Have more questions? Submit a request

After uploading your Walk data, you can view it in your project's Explore tab. By default, only Walks from the most recent capture date are visible; older walkthroughs are hidden automatically. Any visibility changes you make are temporary and will reset when you reload or navigate away from the page.

To see other walkthroughs, click "Walks" in the left panel to expand the list for your selected date range. The date pickers at the top of the map control which uploads appear in your viewer.

 

 

To rename or preview your Walk, click on the Walk in the list. You can also use this section to add a description of your data and change the color of the pathway.

Navigating your Walk

Once you've clicked into your Walk, you can navigate the frames for your Walk in a few different ways. DroneDeploy offers the ability to click through your Walk by individual frame, use your arrow keys, or you can "play" the Walk to view a continuous timelapse.

Settings offer the ability to control the speed of your playthrough, as well as the thickness and opacity of your Walk.  

 

To move through the Walk, click anywhere in your scene or on the Walk line to be taken to the nearest frame for that location.

Additionally, you can use the PLAY button to let the Walk automatically move from frame to frame.

Walk View Settings

At the bottom of your Walk, select the gear icon to customize your viewing experience.

Playback Speed 

Controls the speed in which your Walk will "play" through. This loads frames every 1.5, 2, or 2.5 seconds. Note that the speed of your Walk will also depend on the strength of your internet connection. 

Opacity

Controls the opacity of your Walk line. The default opacity is set to 15%. You can customize this to make your Walk more or less transparent in the viewer.

Thickness

Controls the thickness of your Walk path. This is currently defaulted at 0.3x.

Important: These controls do not save to the Walk, and will reset to default on each new refresh of the viewer.

See Something? Create a Field Note

During your Walk, you may notice something out of place or in need of attention. Simply pause your navigation and choose Field Note on your right panel. 

Then, draw a polygon around the observation to create a note, severity or send to an integration like Autodesk and Procore.

To learn more about Field Notes and their reports, check out the Field Note Report and Inspection on Photos
