Content of the Report

PIX4Dcloud Pro generates a PDF report containing:

  • Project details (name, site, creation date).

  • Full catalog of annotations: markers, circles, lines, areas, volumes, and imported annotations.

  • Automatic screenshots: Captured from the 2D/3D viewer as soon as the annotations are drawn, showing the current visualization and framing.

  • Annotation properties alongside screenshots.

Note: Screenshots are generated automatically; if they are not satisfactory, they can be manually modified.

Modifying Annotation Screenshots

  1. Select the desired view in the 2D or 3D viewer.

  2. Click the camera icon to replace the screenshot:

    • Right panel or hierarchy under the annotation layer.
