Quick capture

Last updated: 20 October 2026 17:44 BST

Quick capture creates a screenshot of the current view in the 3D app. It provides a quick way to capture and share views, record analysis findings, create presentation material, or document project progress. The captured image reflects exactly what is visible on screen at the moment of capture, including any active layers, timelines, filters, and visual settings.

Quick capture is available from the global bar. Selecting Capture generates a screenshot of the current view using the configured settings.

Capture settings

Several options are available to customise the output image.

  • Include legend adds the building state colour key to the captured image.
  • Include scene and date-time adds the current scene name and timestamp to the image.
  • Resolution controls the size of the exported image and offers three output options:
    • 2K (2048 × 1152 px)
    • 4K (3840 × 2160 px)
    • 6K (6144 × 3456 px)

Save location determines where the captured image is stored. Images can be saved directly to the local device or uploaded to The Hub.
