Overview

Types of images you can create using the render tool:

  • File Type: PNG, JPEG
  • Transparent background toggle (only for PNGs)
  • Dimensions: 1920 x 1080 (Standard), 1920 x 1920 (Square), 1640 x 856 (Landscape), and 360 x 800 (Mobile)

You can also set up recipes -- automated workflows from scanner to analysis -- that can automatically generate render bookmarks. Recipes streamline repetitive workflows where you might need to create, share, and download similar render content across projects. Reach out to your Lumafield Solutions Engineer or Account Executive to learn more about enabling recipes for you and your team.

2. Configure Your Render

  • A new render workflow bookmark will open.
    Note: An in-progress render bookmark will have blue diagonal stripes if selected and green diagonal stripes if navigated away.

  • In this in-progress or pre-confirmed state, you can:

    • Modify attributes in the attributes panel such as;

      • Viewport settings: Adjust legend visibility

      • Crop

      • Slices

      • Range map

    • Adjust the scan object position:

      • Object rotation: Click and drag to rotate, and/or right-click and drag to reposition the entire object.

      • Dual viewport render: Open a second viewport by clicking the small window icon (top-right corner of the viewport).
        Note: Both viewports will have the same attributes.

  • Once satisfied with your render, click ‘Confirm’. Your attributes and other settings will lock.

3. Downloading and Sharing the Render Bookmark

  • Now you have a completed render bookmark! Here is what you can do with it:

    • Deep linking: Right-click the bookmark and select ‘Copy link’ to generate a deep link to the specific Render bookmark. Users who receive that link will drop directly into the render bookmark within the project.

    • Download your render Bookmark. You can adjust these download settings:
      Note: Do not navigate away during download or the download will stop (this will be fixed in mid-March 2025). First-time downloads may be slow, but subsequent downloads with the same settings will be quick.

      • File Type: PNG, JPEG
      • Transparent background toggle (only for PNGs)
      • Dimensions: 1920 x 1080 (Standard), 1920 x 1920 (Square), 1640 x 856 (Landscape), and 360 x 800 (Mobile)
