Article summary

System Viewer provides different visualizations for the systems of your workspace. Read on to understand when and how to use the System Designation and Atlas Visualizer.

System Designation vs. Atlas Visualizer

While in System Viewer, you can toggle between two different System visualizers: System Designation and Atlas Visualizer.

  • Select the eye icon in the top navigation bar to open the Visualizers menu

System Designation

System Viewer automatically defaults to System Designation. This Visualizer displays each of the loaded Systems in a different static color.

  • Colors are defined in the color key found under the Visualizers menu when System Designation is selected.

Why use System Designation?

Use this default Visualizer when you want to easily visualize each unique system of your workspace. Each system is assigned a specific color, setting each system apart from the rest.

Atlas Visualizer

Use the Atlas Visualizer when you want your 3D Model to show:

  • System flows and statuses

    • Has Flow / No Flow / Open / Closed

  • Downstream effects of system alignments

The Atlas Visualizer uses a color system to illustrate the different flow states and statuses.

  • This color system is defined in the key under the Visualizers menu when the Atlas Visualizer is selected.

Why use Atlas Visualizer?

Use this default Visualizer when you want to easily visualize the flow states and statuses of your loaded systems.

Adjusting Visualizations

After loading your workspace in System Viewer, you can switch between the default System Designation Visualizer (which displays Systems in static color schemes in your workspace) and the Atlas Visualizer (which shows system flow, statuses and the downstream effects of system alignments).

Follow these steps to view color keys and switch between visualizers:

  1. Select the Visualizer feature (eye icon) at the top of your screen to open the Visualizers menu.

  2. Select the Atlas Visualizer to switch from the default System Designation Visualizer.

  3. Select Apply.

Navigation Notes

  • Left click on the 3D Model and use your WASD keyboard keys and mouse wheel to explore the model.

  • Press the esc key to return to your normal cursor.
