Bookmarks save a useful view of a 3D Cityplanner project so that you can return to it or share it with others. A bookmark can capture the selected map layers and view settings for a particular location.
Create or update a bookmark
Open the Bookmarks panel from the star icon in the top toolbar. Select Add to create a bookmark for the current view, or select an existing bookmark and choose Save to update it. Give the bookmark a clear name so it is easy to recognize later.
Load a saved view
Select a bookmark and choose Load. The project will return to the saved location and view. The result may depend on which data layers are available and enabled for the current project.
Share a view
Select a bookmark and choose Share to open the available sharing options. Depending on the project configuration, you may be able to create a shareable link or copy embed code for a website. Test a public link while signed out and check that the view does not expose private or sensitive data.
Use bookmarks to make it easier to present a consistent view in meetings or to direct colleagues to a specific area of a project. A bookmark does not replace project access controls or permissions for the underlying data.
By clicking 'Add' in the top right corner, you can add a new bookmark to your bookmark list.
A bookmark can also be loaded and shared from this menu.
Load
Clicking the 'Load' option under a bookmark loads that specific bookmark as previously saved.
Share (beta)
Our 'Share' function is quite powerful and allows sharing your view with non-users in two specific ways:
With a direct link anyone can open an instance of the 3D-Cityplanner in their browser and access your specified view straight away. This allows for easy insight into data layers and drawn projects.
Alternatively, you can embed your specified view in a web page by copying the <iframe> and inserting it into you web code.
This allows you to add your visualization as part of, for example, a project development website.
See our website http://digital-twin-city.com for some great examples of web-embeded views.
