Getting Around

The Voyager Project Editor is Voyager’s central tool for analyzing scans from a Neptune or Triton scanner. This article introduces each part of the Project Editor and how it is used.

​

Viewport

The Viewport occupies most of the Project Editor and displays the selected scan data.

​

Viewport layouts

The Viewport can display one or two Data Objects at a time. In the default single-panel layout, the data from a single Data Object is shown. The currently-selected Data Object will be highlighted in blue in the Data Panel. Within the default single-panel view, a preview of a second object can be expanded in the bottom-right corner of the Viewport using the caret icon. Select the Book icon in the top-right corner of the Viewport to toggle between single-panel and split-panel layouts. In the split-panel layout, two Data Objects are shown side by side. Within either the single-panel view or both Panels of a split-Panel view, the dropdown menu at the top-right indicates the current Data Object. Selecting a different Data Object here functions the same as selecting it in the Data Panel.

​

2D and 3D views

When a Reconstruction, ROI, Slice Plane, Mesh or Analysis Results Data Onject is selected, 2D and 3D modes can be toggled using the dropdown in the top-right corner of the Viewport panel.

​

2D views

In 2D views, users can pan, scrub, and zoom. 2D views include the default X, Y, and Z cardinal axes, along with any Slice Planes created within the Project. Click and drag within the Viewport to pan. Use mouse or trackpad controls to zoom in and out. Use the slider below the Viewport to scrub through slices of a 2D view. The adjacent dropdown changes the slice precision, and the scale bar at the top-left represents the scale of the data in view.

​

3D views

In 3D views, users can rotate and zoom. Rotate by clicking and dragging within the Viewport.

​

More Viewport controls

The cardinal X, Y, and Z axes appear in red, green, and blue in the top-right corner of the Viewport. These axes remain fixed in 2D views and rotate with the part in 3D views.

​

Data Panel

The Data Panel appears on the left side of the Project Editor below the label “Data”. Each item in the Data Panel represents a Data Object, which can be one of the following: Projections, Reconstruction, ROI, Plane, or Analysis Results. Learn more about Data Objects on the Data Objects + Workflows article. Data Objects are arranged within the Data Panel in a tree structure in which some Data Objects contain child Data Objects. Use the caret next to a parent Data Object to expand or collapse its children. Selecting a Data Object displays its data in the Viewport. Data Objected highlighted with green stripes are in-progress Data Objects, indicating that a Workflow is underway. Once the Workflow is submitted but has not yet completed, the processing Data Object will not appear in the Data Panel.

​

Data Panel controls

Right-click a Data Object to delete or rename it.

​

Bookmarks Panel

The Bookmarks Panel is located below the Data Panel. It contains Bookmarks, Renders, and Animations. Right-click any item to delete, rename, or copy a link to a Bookmark Object. A collaborator must have Project access to view a shared Bookmark link.

​

Toolbar

The Toolbar appears at the top of the Project Editor. Tools available for the selected Data Object are highlighted; unavailable Tools appear greyed out as some Tools function only on specific Data Object types. Selecting a Tool may do one of the following:

• Create a new Data Object
• Create a new Bookmark Object
• Display new attributes in the Attributes Panel
• Open a Workflow Editor

​

Attributes Panel

The Attributes Panel on the right side of the Project Editor displays attributes and visualization settings for the selected Data Object. Available attributes vary by Data Object type. Additional details on Attributes are available on the Data Objects + Workflows page.

​

Workflow Editor

When the ROI, Porosity, Cracks, Thickness, or Inclusions Tool is selected, the Workflow Editor replaces the Attributes Panel on the right side of the Project Editor. Users can switch between active Workflows without losing progress.

​

Navigation Bar

At the very top of the Project Editor, tools are available to rename the Project, switch Organizations, and log out of Voyager.

​

Help Panel

The bottom-left corner of the Project Editor contains controls to launch Atlas, Voyager’s AI assistant; send feedback; and open support documentation.
