      Share functionality - PIX4Dcloud

      Collaborators can visualize the created datasets via special URLs that are enabled in the PIX4Dcloud user interface.

      Important: 

      • Collaborators don't need to have a Pix4D account to be able to access the shared links.
      • Within the Organization Management, only Owners and Managers can enable share links to allow other people to work on the project.

      To share a dataset:

      1. Open the dataset that is ready to be shared.
      2. At the top right corner, click Share. Different links are available:

      Michigan BH._v3

      3. Copy the needed URL and deliver it to collaborators, and enable the share link.

      Information: Turning the toggle off will immediately disable the share link. Collaborators will not be able to access the project any longer using the link they received.

      Link URLs

      When using the LINK URLs:

      • All the content of the 2D and 3D views,
      • The annotations

      are shared.

      • The elevation profile can be generated from the shared LINK URL.
      • If default views were set for the 2D and/or the 3D, these will be preserved when opening the project with a share link.

      Important: A link generated from PIX4Dcloud Advanced shares the entire Site with collaborators, who can open all of the datasets belonging to the same site and perform comparisons. Notice that a Compare mode view can be shared directly. More information in How to use the 2D/3D Comparison tool on PIX4Dcloud Advanced.

      Warning: The input images and the output files cannot be shared as they cannot be downloaded from a share link.

      Two LINK URLs can be enabled, copied, and shared:

      1. Share link with view and measure only permission: The collaborators with this link, while the link is enabled, can:

        • Open a dataset as anonymous users.
        • Measure and perform analysis using the 2D/3D tools and annotations.
        • Change the properties of each layer (visibility, opacity, background color, etc..)
        • After a page refresh, the changes will be discarded.

      2. Share link with edit and save permission: The collaborators with this link, while is enabled, can:

        • Open a dataset as anonymous users.
        • Measure and perform analysis using the 2D/3D tools and annotations.
        • Change the properties of each layer (visibility, opacity, background color, etc..).
        • After a page refresh, the measurements and the changes will remain saved.
      Tip: Use the Preview button to simulate how your collaborator will visualize the shared dataset, which functionalities are allowed, and which visualization settings will be applied.

       

       

      Embed URLs

      Use the HTML content copied from the EMBED tab to embed the 2D/3D views on another website.

      When using the EMBED URLs:

      • Only visualization is allowed.
      • Measurements are not allowed.
      • Annotations added to the dataset are not visible.
      • The orthomosaic or 3D results can be visualized.

      Note: The URLs are served from a cache lasting 24 hours.

      The final results on the external website are the following.
