Getting Started

After logging into your FieldTwin Operate tenant with operate project URL you will see your field layout displayed in your browser as shown in the sample operation project screenshot below:

Main commands

Then you will have three (3) main toolbar sections with commands you can utilize to search, find and quickly view the information you are looking for:

Top command bar

At the top very top left of the screen you will see the following toolbar as shown below:

From left to right the following functionality is available for you:

Search operations

This free text search field allows you to type in what you are looking for. You can even type in a single character and press Enter and the it will search through any connected data source and display the results as shown in the results window below

Search

Pressing this button will display a drop down list with the data categories available to you from the connected data sources. You can check/uncheck the categories to include or exclude them from the search operation as shown here:

FT Vision

Pressing this button will display a drop down list with the search categories available to for FieldTwin Vision. You can check/uncheck the categories to include or exclude them from the search operation as shown here:

Kt

In this sample project KogniTwin is connected as a data source and the drop down list with the available search categories is displayed. You can check/uncheck the categories to include or exclude them from the search operation as shown here:

Note! You will see similar search category options if more data sources are connected.

Layout

The Layout button will display a list of all the module windows registered with the application as shown here:

If you have closed any of the module windows, you can select it from this list to make it visible again. Click on Reset Layout to revert all the module windows to their default setting.

Right command bar

This command bar is comprised various functions and settings for controlling the various view and information options including viewport settings. In addition you also have measurement tools, and access to point cloud compare. See the table below for an overview:

Command	Description
	Access Viewport Settings
	Highlight Systems
	Display the list of project layers
	See the available navigation viewpoints
	Zoom Extent
	Active Flythrough Mode
	Switch to 2D View
	Switch to 3D View
	Activate the Measurment Tool
	Activate Clip Plane Tool
	Activate Point Cloud Compare
	Display all Annotations

Viewport Settings

Clicking on the Viewport Settings icon will display the following settings options as shown below:

Water Opacity - The Opacity slider allows you to define the water transparency value from 0,1 to 1. Where a value of 0 is fully transparent and a value of 1 is completely non-transparent. Note! This applies to 3D view only. The default value is set to 0.

Vertical Scale - This will allow you to change the vertical scale only on the field layout for presentation purposes.

Zoom Speed - This numerical value defines the stepwise speed of which you zoom in and out of the Viewport. Useful if you are using trackpads or similar touch input devices for sensitivity control. The range is 0,001 as a minimum (slow) to 0,05 (fast). Press Reset to restore the default setting.

Annotation Size - This allows you to adjust the size of all annotations using the slider control.

Show scale bar - For 2D mode you can check this option to show the scale bar helper in the lower right corner of the Viewport to better gauge distances.

Show compass - Check this option to show the compass rose directional helper in the Viewport to indicate spatial view orientation.

Theme - Select the desired color theme from the list of various color schemes.

Disable automatic performance fallback - Click on this to disable the automatic adjustment of your computers performance if we detect to high a load and then reduce certain parameters to make the experience smoother.

Highlight Systems

Click on this to display a list of the defined systems in the operation project such as Production, Water Injection etc. The selected system will then be highlightend and animated for visibility on screen.

Layers

This will display a list of all the layers in the operations project and their visibility as shown below:

At the top you will see the number of visible layers out of the total number of layers.

Search Layers - The free text field allows you start typing and the list will then filter automatically based on your input.

All, Visible, Hidden - These buttons when press will then in order for the dialog; Display all layers, Show only visible layers, and lastly show only hidden layers.

Toggle Visibility - Click on the Eye Icon to toggle the category, or layer visbility on or off.

Viewpoints

This will display a list of the defined viewpoints in the operations project. Click on the desired viewpoint and the viewport will then display that viewpoint.

Zoom Extent

Automatically zooms the view outwards to fit all present assets/vessels/connections on the stage.

Flythrough Camera

Enables Flythrough Camera Movement for 3D Viewport mode, which is useful for screen recordings or live presentations.

2D Mode / 3D Mode

Press the 2D icon for 2D view and 3D icon for 3D view.

FieldTwin Operate is completely 3D driven from a rendering perspective, but a 2D Mode is still available for field layout design, but is then represented by the camera showing a top-down perspective of the view port so you get the 2D experience if desired. You can also quickly switch between viewing the view port in 2D or 3D Mode respectively by using the following keyboard shortcuts "2" and "3" respectivly.

Measure

Enables the measurement tool that allows you to measure the distance in the selected unit system and view the angle between 2 selected points in the stage. The measurement function will stay active until you select the "Clear Ruler" icon. To start a new measurement, simply click on a new point you want to measure from. The radius can be determined for e.g. ships or installations for different purposes such as safety distance.

You can use the measure tool independently in any 2D or 3D Viewport window. If you measure in 3D mode we will also display the height when you move the mouse along the Z axis after completing the measurement circle as shown below:

Press the X icon that is now showing just below the measure tool to cancel the measure functionality.

Clip Plane

This will enable the clip plane functionality in 3D mode and show the clip plane with controls in the viewport as shown below:

The toolbar will also expand with additional clip plane tool functionality:

Command	Description
	Set the clip plane in X axis mode
	Set the clip plane in Y axis mode
	Set the clip plane in Z axis mode
	Set the clip plane in rotate axis mode
	Cancel Clip Plane

The Clip Plane Movement controls:

These controls allows rotation and movement on all axis in 3D space. Click and hold dowm on the desired movement or roation part of the clip control to manipulate the clip plane. In short;

Yaw – Rotation around the vertical (Z) axis; turns the clip plane left or right. Pitch – Rotation around the lateral (Y) axis; tilts the clip plane up or down. Roll – Rotation around the longitudinal (X) axis; rotates the clip plane side-to-side.

Point Cloud Compare

This will display the dialog for the Point Cloud Comparison Tool that allows you to as an example compare point clouds from inspections of an asset or pipeline and detect any changes over time. This can be usueful to detect the dangers of scouring for subsea assets or pipelines.

See the following Point Cloud Comparison for more information!

Hide Annotations

Selecting this function will hide annotations in the distance as you typically will have a lot of them in an operate scenario and when you zoom in for more detail

Hidden Items

At the bottom of the viewport you will see the "Hidden Items" button as shown below:

Coordinate Info

Positioned in the lower right corner of the viewport you will find the coordinate info and current EPSG for the operate project:

X - Shows the current x coordinate of your mouse pointer position.

Y - Shows the current Y coordinate of your mouse pointer position.

Z - Shows the current depth of where your mouse pointer position is.

ESPG - Shows the selected ESPG for the current operate project.

(i) - If you position your mouse over the i icon the tooltip will display information on the ESPG selected.
