Publication URL query arguments

The following arguments can be added to the publication URL. This applies to the 3DM Publisher and 3DM Cloud.

Open Publication by XYZ

Open the publication and focus all views on a specific location (and optionally orientation) by adding the following URL arguments.

  • Required: Spatial position
    • Geographic: lat/latitude, lon/longitude
    • Projected: x, y, crs (epsg code)
  • Optional:
    • Elevation: z
    • Attitude:
      • pan/heading (degrees or driving_direction)
      • tilt (degrees)
      • fov (degrees)

Example
https://3dmapping.cloud/publication/<publication name>?x=<value>&y=<value>&crs=<value>&heading=<value>&tilt=<value>

Open Publication by PhotoID

Open the publication, clear the opened views and add image view(s) with the photoID in the Publication URL.
The resource value is the name of the visible resource of which the image is opened. When this parameter is not defined, the first resource that has a photo with the given photoID will be opened.

Example
https://3dmapping.cloud/publication/<publication name>?resource=<value>&photoID=<value1>,<value2>

Open the Publication and trigger a search action on startup. This behaves exactly as if the user would open up the publication, open the search field, and submit a search.

Example
https://3dmapping.cloud/publication/<publication name>?search=<value>

The search mode the publication is configured with, defines what happens:

  • Search by Geocoding Service
  • Search by Annotations
  • Search by Vector Attributes (opens Inspector sidebar on search)
  • Search by Photo ID
  • Search by Mapping Resources

Open Publication by Time

Open the publication and filter data based on a specific time by adding the following URL arguments.

Example
https://3dmapping.cloud/publication/<publication name>?&time=<YYYY-MM-DD>
https://3dmapping.cloud/publication/<publication name>?&time=<YYYY-MM>
https://3dmapping.cloud/publication/<publication name>?&time=<YYYY>

The time filter will adjust based on user-selected time input. The filter can be a day, month, or year. If no time is found by the URL arguments, the Publication will open normally without the time Filter and a bannar will appear notifying no matching time was found.

Download Snapshot

Trigger the direct download of a view by adding the view number to the publication URL.
The view value is the number of the view. Use 'reference' to download the snapshot of the reference view.

Example:
https://3dmapping.cloud/publication/<publication name>?snapshot=true&view=<value>
