Setting up the best viewer experience for your asset.

Display

Set the default camera position and orientation that viewers see when they first open your asset. The Starting View also determines your asset's thumbnail preview.

View Settings (Viewport, Display & Render Modes)

Control camera behavior, environment lighting, background settings, and post-processing effects in the Nira viewer to get the best visual presentation of your 3D assets.

Camera, Environment & Post Processing

Save different visual configurations of the same asset as named View Variants, then switch between them with one click. Use variants to present different perspectives to different audiences without duplicating assets.

View Variants

Use the Layers Panel to browse, filter, and manage all callouts and measurements on your asset — including grouping, listing style options, and controlling orthomosaic visibility.
