Other Map Functions

Zoom In/Out

You can zoom in and inspect the data using tools such as the Profile and Controls tools. For example, you can compare the design to the ground by drawing a profile line in the view. A longitudinal profile of the design and production layer appears above the map. You can select any point in the profile line to pinpoint the values.

Note: You can resize the map view vertically using mobile controls or your cursor while the Map and Profile views are visible. Resizing the map view vertically exposes more (or less) of the map to ensure the best use of limited screen space. The map view retains its new size during the current session.

Note: Select the Zoom to Extents map control tool (top left of the map) to return to the zoom level for the default Project Extents view.

Navigate the Map View

The Map page allows you to interact with data in a map overlay where you can inspect work done by a combination of assets for the entire project area.

The Map page is filtered by the selected date range, widgets, and design files on the Dashboard page.

Note: The project boundary dictates the time zone in which the machines report. This is the time zone set when creating a new project in WorksOS Administrator. Keep this in mind when you look at a project’s data reported in a time zone different from your preferred time zone; this could impact your date range selections.

Use the map to visualize the as-built surface and validate the quality of the machine data in the Quality Metrics slider. The map is updated according to the selected quality metric in the slider.

You can zoom in and inspect the data using tools such as the Profile and Controls tools. For example, you can compare the design to the ground by drawing a profile line in the view. A longitudinal profile of the design and production layer appears above the map. You can select any point in the profile line to pinpoint the values.

Select the Zoom to Extents map control tool (top left of the map) to return to the zoom level for the default Project Extents view.

The Detailed Data Viewer (DDV) tool decodes and outputs machine data for a single selected cell on the map to a table that displays the complete history of all individual machine passes (including raw quality metrics and all machine data types). This information helps you analyze cell history and machine activity to pinpoint areas of interest or to perform quality checks.

Refine, analyze, and export project data from the Map page.

Profile

You can zoom in and inspect the data using tools such as the Profile and Controls tools. For example, you can compare the design surface to the existing ground surface by drawing a profile line in the view. A longitudinal profile of the design and production layer appears above the map. You can select any point in the profile line to pinpoint the values.

Create a Profile View

  1. Click the Map icon and the Metrics fly-out.

  2. Select Elevation (or Cut/Fill). Elevation contours and graduated colors are displayed for the highest (blue) to lowest (red) elevations based on filters and dates specified (or cut, fill, and on-grade colors are displayed) This color scheme is based on surveyed data and machine productivity data.

  3. Click the Profile icon and pick two points on the map to create a line. The Profile View shows profiles for any enabled surfaces along the line.

  4. At the top of the Profile View, click the Controls icon to check the boxes for which design, surveyed, and as-built surfaces (including specific passes) are shown in the Profile View.

  5. Control the vertical exaggeration using the X- Axis Ratio and Y-Axis Ratio sliders.

  6. Zoom in to compare the surface elevations.

  7. Pick a point on any profile line in the view to see the distance along and elevation at that point.

  8. Continue to pick different point pairs to see other elevation profiles.

  9. Click the Profile icon again to hide the Profile View. Profile can be done with any quality metric. There is a Cell Marker Selection which turns on white dot cell markers in the Profile view. Turn it on and zoom right in to see them appear.

Note: You can resize the map view vertically using mobile controls or your cursor while the Map and Profile views are visible. Resizing the map view vertically exposes more (or less) of the map to ensure the best use of limited screen space. The map view retains its new size during the current session. Select the Zoom to Extents map control tool (top left of the map) to return to the zoom level for the default Project Extents view.

Custom Area

Click points around a custom area which is then added to your filters. This enables you to zoom into a specific part of your project site quickly and consistently.

Create a Custom Area

  1. When drawing a custom area boundary, double-click the final vertex (white point) to close the polygon. When you hover over the Custom Area icon (top right of the map), a tooltip explains this function.

  2. Save your custom area filter with a unique name. Custom area filters are available for every user working with the project in this account. Only one custom area filter can be used at a time. After you save the custom area, the map automatically zooms to the custom area’s boundary. Click the Zoom to Extents icon (top left of the map) to return to the zoom level for the default project extents view.

  3. Click the Edit icon to draw a new custom area. You can click and drag vertices on the boundary to reshape it. Click Save when you are done. Each custom area is saved with the project for any users with access to quickly select.

Note: You will not see the custom area boundary take shape until you have drawn three vertices (white points). When you close the polygon, gray interim vertices are added for you.

Edit a Custom Area

You can edit a custom area boundary in two ways:

  • Click and drag a white vertex to a different spot.

  • Click and drag a vertex point to create a new vertex for a better fit over your data.

DDV (Detailed Data View)

View Machine Pass History in the DDV

The DDV tool decodes and displays both machine production data and surveyed surface data for a single selected cell on the map in a table that displays the complete history of all individual machine passes (including raw quality metrics and all machine data types). This information helps you analyze cell history and machine activity to pinpoint areas of interest or to perform quality checks.

When activated, the DDV map tool displays the entire cell pass history for a cell, including both machine passes and surveyed surfaces. By default, this cell pass history is in chronological order from most recent to least recent; this logic also extends to ordering surveyed surfaces by their survey date in accordance with machine pass dates/times. This ordering can be reversed to show from least to most recent by clicking the Date/Time DDV column header which will toggle the cell passes in the two ordering ways.

The DDV also recognizes any and all filters that are applied to project data and reflected in the map and the quality metrics. A cell's pass data in the DDV reflects all filters applied and returns the filtered subset of the data matching the filter criteria.

For example:

  • If you filter to a single highest/lowest/first/last state and it is the surveyed surface that meets that criteria, then only that single surveyed surface data is shown in the DDV.

  • If you filter to a single highest/lowest/first/last state and a machine pass that meets the criteria, then only the single machine pass is shown; no surveyed surface passes are shown in the DDV.

  • If you filter to a state that excludes a surveyed surface, then that surveyed surface is not shown in the DDV.

  1. Click the Map icon.

  2. Click the Metrics fly-out and select either Volume or Pass Count.

  3. On the right side, click the DDV tool icon to open the Detailed Data View table above the map.

  4. In the Map view, click any cell that contains machine data. The DDV shows all machine passes for the cell with the latest pass at the top. Information includes date/times, design surfaces, elevations, target metrics, actual metrics, and machine settings. Each individual machine pass is shown in a separate row.

  5. You can use Date Range and other filters to refine the data displayed in the DDV. For example, you can select a date range and machine design to filter the data to passes by machines loaded with that design during the date range. See Filter Map Data.

  6. DDV data for a single cell can also be downloaded from the table by clicking the Download icon.

  7. To close the DDV tool, click the DDV icon again.

Configure DDV column settings

When the DDV tool is active, you can configure the columns to be displayed in the DDV. This lets you determine the order of the columns and column visibility, and pin columns so they remain in view as you scroll the DDV.

  1. On the left-side toolbar, click the Map icon.

  2. On the right side, click the DDV tool icon to open the Detailed Data View table above the map.

  3. Make changes as needed, and click OK. The DDV updates to reflect your changes.

  4. Select the Date/Time column in the DDV to change the view to the latest pass data last or first.
