After waiting a moment to be logged in, you will arrive at the list of model reviews you have been invited to. Select your model review and click CONFIRM. 

If it is your first time joining this model review, you will start in the Lobby. 

Click on the the scene you want to visit from the main menu. This will reveal Spawn Points that can be jumped to in that scene.

Click any of the Spawn Points in the list to jump into the scene at this location. The scene will take a moment to download.

After downloading is complete, you will find yourself at your selected Spawn Point location and are now ready to review the scene.

By default, Mouse Walk is active. You should see the footprints icon as your cursor. This can be used to easily glide around the scene by left-clicking and dragging your mouse.

To select an object, double click the left mouse button over an object. You will see your selection arrow appear on the object.

The G key can be pressed to switch to classic movement. This movement mode uses a combination of mouse and keyboard buttons to pan around the scene.

To select an object, simply click the left mouse button over an object. You will see your selection arrow appear on the object.

Use the Scenes tab to go to different Spawn Points or a new scene. Spawn Points are different locations within a scene that you can instantly move to.

A Lobby is a scene that is a miniaturized version of the entire project featured in the model review. To go back to the Lobby, press GO TO LOBBY.

Use the Tasks tab to monitor and check off tasks created for your model review.

Selecting a task will bring up a more detailed view of it, where you can see who has also checked off the task, and if it is assigned to anyone specific.

Click the CHECK OFF button to complete the task.

Use the Participants tab to see who else is in your model review, and to follow others.

To follow someone, press FOLLOW by the user’s name. Upon following another user, your scene and spawn point will change to be theirs, as will any offset they apply to their scene.  You can unfollow by pressing FOLLOWING.

This is useful for allowing a team lead to ensure everyone is with them, for example, especially when reviewing multiple scenes and traversing multiple spawn points.

To hide the main menu, press the < button. This allows for a larger area to see during your model review.

To bring the main menu back, simply press the button in the top-left corner of the screen when the main menu is hidden.

You can move the scene around in small increments by pressing the OFFSET button near the top-right corner of the screen. Press the buttons beside your desired axes to adjust the scene in metres or degrees. Use the RESET button to set the values back to 0.0.

Note: if you have others following you while adjusting offset, they will see the scene move too.

BIM data can be viewed on selected objects. First, select an object so your selection arrow is visible, then press the VIEW button on the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Any BIM data attached to this object will be visible on the right side of the screen.

Text and photo notes can be left in the scene to record findings and opinions in your model review.

To create a note, first select an object, and then press LEAVE A NOTE button on the bottom-right corner of the screen. This will bring up a pop-up, where you can create a text note or take a photo for others to see.

Once a note is created, your selection arrow will be replaced with a note icon. Other participants can see your note and create a thread, by using the text box and photo button there.
