QR codes can be generated and printed in the Argyle portal. It’s also possible to set the position of a QR code in that same interface. However, it’s important to make sure that position is in the right format.
There are three ways to set a QR code:
- In app
- Revit Family QR
- Navisworks coordinate QR
Coordinates and Argyle - the concepts
- I’ve surveyed coordinates - now how does that communicate with Argyle?
- Question - what is YOUR standard, and what is the standard of who shot the points?
- For Argyle’s purposes, the coordinates we’re using come out of the authoring software
- IF coordinates connect to authoring software, simply enter the points
- However if they’re using project coordinates that are different from your survey coordinate
- You need to understand how those points relate to your project
- If you can bring the points into Revit or Navisworks, you’ll be able to get them into Argyle.
- However if the coordinate system is unclear to you, we won’t be able to help
In the app:
- First align the hologram to the world manually or by other QR codes.
- Place the printed QR code in the environment
- Open the QR interface
- When the app has seen the QR code and highlighted it, you can click “save” to save its position to the database.
- It’s now ready for use in future sessions or other devices.
