Control asset color coding, displayed visuals, point cloud display, and more

In a project, select View from the menu bar to see the popout:

General

Asset coloring

The View / Asset coloring option allows you to color code assets based on specific criteria such as the type of conductor, pole utilisation, or class.

This makes it easy to view projects in color-coded subsections for easier analysis:

By selecting Utilisation in the Asset Coloring option, Neara will continue to calculate the worst-case tip load of all the poles in your design and represent it as a percentage of its total allowable strength.

A heatmap will also appear to demonstrate the breaking areas and a red-figure will appear on top of poles that are over utilised (100%+). You can use this tool to quickly pinpoint all the failing poles. See Model changes to your existing network

Selecting Circuit name will color the spans in the Perspective View based on name rather than voltage. This makes it easier to see the effect of a change to voltage if you have, for example, an 11kV and a 0kV span in the design.

Other options

  • Eye dome intensity: controls the contrast.

  • Cable visual size multiplier: controls the cable thickness

  • Map overlay opacity: controls the opacity of the map overlay; setting it to 0 will hide the overlay from view

  • Hide terrain: toggle the terrain on/off

Point Cloud view options

This section includes:

  • Display point cloud: toggle the point cloud on/off

  • Point size: modifies the individual size of each LiDAR point

  • Point coloring: switch between different color coding settings for each individual point

  • Flag clearance violations: any LiDAR points that violate the clearance requirements of the conductors will turn red

  • Flag areas in plan: LiDAR points violating clearance requirements will be flagged in the plan view

  • Clearance markers: these markers appear when a conductor is selected and groups violating points into circle markers. These markers are paired with an average distance.
