Creating a Twin

Creating a Twin is the starting point for all visualization, annotation, and operational workflows within the platform.

---

Before You Begin

Each site can have only one Twin. Before you can create a Twin, you must first create a Site if one does not already exist.

Once your site is created and opened, you’ll land on its Home page.

Launch the Twin Workflow

On the Home page, you’ll see a prominent RealityTwin banner. Clicking this banner for the first time will initiate the Twin creation process.

Here’s what happens next:

1. You are automatically redirected into the RealityComposer Workspace.

2. This workspace allows you to select and align the reality capture layers you want to include in your Twin.

Upload Your Reality Capture Data

In order to build a Twin, your site must have reality capture data (e.g., 3D scans, photogrammetry meshes, etc.) available.

If no data has been uploaded yet, you will see prompts and buttons allowing you to upload your files. This will take you into the Upload workflows.

Note

Currently, a meshed version of your data is mandatory to use it inside RealityTwin. Point clouds data without meshing are not yet supported in the Twin view.

Finalizing Your Twin

Once your layers are selected and aligned in the Composer workspace, your Twin is automatically assembled.

From there, you can:

• Switch to the Twin Workspace to explore and interact with your 3D twin

• Start tagging and organizing assets

• Share the Twin with collaborators
