Opening Jobs

Currently, the SAPPHIRE™ Mobile Viewer is configured to open jobs that are attached to email messages.   To open a job in the viewer, select the email attachment and then “Open in Viewer.”  Jobs must be saved in SAPPHIRE™ Structure v7.3.5 or newer and must have Collaboration Rules set in order to be opened in the SAPPHIRE™ Mobile Viewer.

Collaboration Rules in SAPPHIRE™ Structure

In Structure, click File > Set Collaboration Rules and specify passwords, expiration dates, and default visibility switches.  This is a required step for opening jobs in the Mobile Viewer.

Visibility Switches

Access visibility switches by tapping the eye button in the lower left-hand corner.  Toggle the check mark on or off to view objects and levels.

The crosshairs icon is used to change your location in the model.

1. Tap the crosshairs icon.
2. Select a level. 
3. Plan view is displayed. Tap your location in the model (signified by a blue dot). 
4. Tap what you want to look at. 
5. The 3D image is updated to reflect the new location and focal point.

Camera

Use the camera icon to take, and email, a picture of the current view.

1. Use the navigation tools to zoom in on the section of the plan in question, i.e. - a non-structural door header. 
2. Tap the camera icon. 
3. A picture-in-picture viewfinder is displayed.   Point the viewfinder and click the camera icon to take a picture. 
4. The picture, along with the current view, are both emailed to the recipient.

Walking Man

The walking man icon allows you to position yourself in the model and then turn your body (and mobile device) to see a different view.  A common walking man workflow is described below.

1. Tap the crosshairs icon to specify your position in the model. 
2. Specify what you are looking at from that position. 
3. Tap the walking man icon. 
4. Hold the viewer in front of you and turn left, right, up, or down to receive a panoramic view from your current location.
