Quick Start
Recommended inspection workflow for water tanks and similar assets
Step 1. Open a 3D model
If the asset has both Internal and External inspections, each View 3D button opens the matching model.
Step 2. Explore the 3D model
Take a moment to look around the model and get familiar with the scene. You can rotate, zoom, and move the camera using your mouse or keyboard.
Mouse
Keyboard
Step 3. Tag the elements
Place tags on key elements so you can easily find them later.
Place tags where they are easy to see.
External
Internal
Step 4. Measure the elements
You need to calculate the surface area of each element (walls, roof, columns, etc.) to ensure accurate severity calculations.
Step 5. Create linear defects
We recommend creating all linear defects across the entire model first, and only then moving on to area defects
After defect creation
Step 6. Create area defects
Area defects are created the same way as linear defects — by drawing them on the model or on a photo.
Their surface area is calculated automatically.
Step 7 (optional). Confirm defects
This step is optional and available in the Defect Overview mode.
Use it when the inspector needs to verify the annotator’s work.
You can confirm defects individually or confirm all filtered defects at once.
Step 8. Release the inspection
To do this, go to Tools → Release Inspection.
If the button is disabled, hover over it to see the reason.
Step 9. Request the report
Reports are generated from the Inspection Summary page.
Before requesting a report, make sure the inspection is released.
Add Inspector’s Comments (optional)
Go to Inspection Summary → Inspector’s Comments and add any notes you want to include at the beginning of the report.
These comments appear in both the Inspection Report and the Assessment Report.
Generate the report
Report generation may take 10 minutes to several hours, depending on the number of defects.
Step 10. Download the report
When the report is ready, open Reports and save the file.
