The Prospect Library

The Prospect Library is the hub for managing your virtual reality experiences. From here you can save, sync, export, delete, view, and change various settings per file and/or per project. You can also share files for collaboration or invite others to a VR meeting. 

 

Using the Desktop Library

First, import your file:

• .IVZ: Double-clicking from your desktop or drag and drop
• Revit, Navisworks & Rhino: Use the plugin within the authoring software, "View in VR" to launch, see image below
• Sketchup, OBJ & FBX: Drag and drop into Prospect library

Next, launching into VR:

1.  After importing your file, as shown above, it will automatically begin processing and save it to your library.
2. If you're saving the file into a new project, you will be prompted to sync this project by default, and then, if synced, to add Project Level collaborators. Note that any project-level collaborators will automatically gain access to any files added to the project from this point forward, and a number of features will be reliant on the project being synced. More here.)
3. Click "View in VR" to launch your file into VR, or first adjust your settings in the right panel

Library Settings & Options 

Global Settings Menu  

	Click on the gear icon near the top right of the Prospect Library to open the Global Settings menu. From here you can change a number of settings that apply by default to any newly imported file in your Library, such as z-fighting reduction.  Changes you make here will apply to all projects.
	As a workstation user, be invited to collaborate directly through Prospect, click on the gear icon near the top right of the Prospect Library to open the Global Settings menu. Copy your Workstation ID, and send that over to the meeting host. They can paste this into the same line used for email invites, to invite your workstation as a collaborator

 

File Specific Settings

When you select a file in your library, a panel on the right will open with default settings you can set for a file within a project, such as: Display Settings, Flagged Elements, Measuring tool units, Viewpoints and Screenshots. If you do not alter File settings, default global settings will apply. 

When you interact with your file in Prospect by adding annotations, changing layers, sun settings, and more, those changes will persist across sessions for the specific file you have imported. This allows you to retain useful data from your VR sessions, as you can reference annotations in the future. 

To reset markups and other in-VR settings, click the options button on the file in your library and select "Reset Markups". 

 

Help Menu

Use the Help drop-down on the library to know which version of Prospect you're using, check release notes, or access your account settings.

There you'll find the personal information you provided during the sign-up process, as well as information on billing and trial periods.
