This involves two tasks. First, the model data is exported from the Smart Build Insight project to a COE file. That COE file is then imported into the TruView project, where it is combined with the job site scan.

Import the COE file into TruView
This task is usually done by your surveying contractor. He or she:
-
Imports the COE file into the TruView project
-
Correlates the model element and scan data
-
Lets you know that the updated scans are ready for import into Smart Build Insight
If you need to do this yourself, make sure that:
-
You import the COE file into the TruView project associated with the Smart Build Insight project.
-
The model elements are set to use the same coordinate system as the scan.
See the TruView help for instructions on using that software.
