Preferences
The Preferences menu holds your personal settings for working in the task view. Use it to set the language, cursors, mouse buttons, snapping, tab behavior and keybindings to suit how you work.
Depending on the task and view, this menu will vary in items.
Environment
Language
Switch the interface language. You can choose between English, δΈζ (Chinese), ζ₯ζ¬θͺ (Japanese) and νκ΅μ΄ (Korean).
Cursors
Review pin cursor
Choose how the cursor looks when you place review pins. You can use either None (the default pointer) or Ellipsis. This option only appears in review tasks, and is available when you are viewing the point cloud on a review or correction task.
Extreme point cursor
You can select your preferred cursor for placing extreme points in 2D. You have the option to use either a pointer or a crosshair.
Behavior
Orbit / pan mouse mapping
Choose mouse buttons for orbit and pan in the 3D camera. This appears only when viewing the point cloud and applies to Fly and Orbit controls.
- Right-click to orbit, left-click to pan β Press and drag the right mouse button to orbit, and drag with the left button to pan. Left-button panning only works when no drawing tool is active and you drag on empty space, not objects.
- Left-click to orbit, right-click to pan β Swaps the controls so you orbit with the left mouse button and pan with the right. Left-button orbiting only works when no drawing tool is active and you drag on empty space. Panning with the right mouse button always works.
Pixel snapping
Choose whether your 2D drawing snaps to whole pixels. Set it to Pixels to align edges to the pixel grid, or None to draw freely. This option is not available when viewing the point cloud.
Tab behavior
You can choose whether a manual or automatic switch between the Create and Edit tabs works best for you and the task you're working on.
To switch between the Create and Edit tabs, use the Switch to Create or Edit keyboard shortcut. Learn the shortcut, as it will speed up the process.
