Detect features in the model
When uploading the 3D model to HEGIAS, your model is analyzed and made available for virtual reality. During this process, the geometry is divided into the following categories:
Floors
Walls
Ceilings
Windows / Glass
Stairs
Others
In order for the geometry to be assigned to a category, it must already be correctly marked in the CAD / 3D program. The assignment is done according to the geometry names and works in German, English and Italian.
The recognition can also be deactivated in the advanced options of the HEGIAS VR Import.
The following section explains the different categories and their functions.
Floors are the most important category and there should be at least one Floor in each model. The following functions are only possible on floors:
