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.

Starting View

Configure how your 3D asset looks in the Nira viewer — including display modes, render modes, viewport options, and data-type-specific settings for meshes, point clouds, and 3DGS.

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.

Layers Panel
