Once you’re happy, tap the AR Mode button in the bottom right corner of the screen to view in AR. If you do not see the AR Mode button, go to Settings > Preferences > Active Features. Activate AR as a menu item if it’s available. If you do not see it in this menu, then your device is not compatible with AR.

Exploring the Model
Once the model is placed, you can begin to move around it with your iPad. View it from any side, and any angle of elevation. Your Tool edits and View Options remain on the model so you can see them in full view.

Selecting Structures
Tap a structure to view its description. The Infobox will appear on the left-hand side of the screen, and will move with your device so that the information is always visible to you.

If Labels were attached to the current model position, you can also view these in AR Mode. Only Labels active in the current view will be accessible in AR Mode. As you move closer to the model, Labels for the structures in clearest view will become visible. Move around the model to view Labels for different structures.
