Call and registration
To make it easier to get started, this section describes how to access and use the NET Cloud web portal.
NET Cloud serves as a central Web platform for all project participants, bringing together and further processing all scans of a construction project within a GIS application.
The URL consists of the following elements https://{Instanznamen}.netcloud.run These URL can also be used to log in to the NET Scan app.
As it is a browser-based application, it can be opened in any standard browser.
Reset password
Set your personal password by selecting the “Reset Password” function on the web portal login page.
Click “here” on the login page. After entering your valid email address, you will receive an email with a link that allows you to set a new password.
Note: The email address you enter must already be registered in the NET Cloud system.
Map display
In NET Cloud, the map is the focus of the application. The following actions are accessible via the control elements:
- Settings: Switch between German and English, make changes to your user account, change your password, and log out.
- Display of the currently selected project and access to project selection
- Navigation and tools: Navigation buttons, full screen mode, drawing tools, object-specific actions and the search function.
- Change background map: Choose between OpenStreetMap and satellite images.
- View Management -Scan Layer: Management and display of scans, orthophotos, photos and the survey areas.
- View Management - Redlining Layer
- View Management - Redlining Views
Map Navigation
This section describes the various navigation options within the map view, including the use of zoom and pan functions and searching for specific locations or addresses.
| Zoom in / out on the map and return to the initial view | |
| Jumps to the current GPS position. The "Use location" function must be activated | |
| Full screen mode |
Drawing tools
This section describes all the tools that can be used to draw on the map, including the selection of lines, shapes and text tools and their specific applications.
|
Line, polygon and point objects are drawn using the buttons on the left-hand side. This includes routes, building edges, building ends, fittings, sleeves, NVTs, PoPs, ball markers and pipe ends. After selecting the appropriate geometry, the layer must be selected to start the drawing mode. For more information, see Drawing and editing. The scissors are used to split line objects. Linked documents are transferred, but not subordinate objects such as pipes. |
|
| This icon allows you to measure distances or areas on the map. These measurements are not saved and are no longer available when the page is reloaded. |
Object-related tools
Dieser Abschnitt gibt die Übersicht über die Werkzeugleiste, erklärt die Funktionen der einzelnen Symbole und wie man diese effektiv nutzt, um Zeichnungen zu erstellen und zu bearbeiten.
|
The i symbol shows information about the respective object, such as creation date, creator and FID (unique identifier of the object within the database). The second icon contains links to tickets, if tickets have been created within NET Cloud. The document icon provides links to photos, documents or scans that are linked to the object. The chain symbol refers to linked or subordinate objects, such as the pipes in a route. The search icon allows you to search for an address in the respective country or a detailed object search, which is set up differently from layer to layer. |
Drawing and editing
| Step1: Select a Layer | Before drawing, ensure that the desired layer is selected for creating the object. |
| Step 2: Start Digitizing |
After selecting the layer, the system automatically switches to digitizing mode: Place points: Simply click the left mouse button to set support points. Delete points: Right-click to remove any points that were placed by mistake. Finish line: Double-click the last point, or alternatively, click the „Finish“ “” button. |
| Step 3: Filling in Attributes |
After drawing, the attribute form opens: Required fields are marked with a red asterisk (*). These fields need to be filled in to successfully complete the object creation. |
| Step 4: Saving and Editing |
Click „Save“ to create the object and confirm your entries. You can modify the attribute fields at any time afterward. |
Digitize pipes in routes
When creating pipes, make sure they are placed directly within the corresponding route. This ensures that the assignment is carried out correctly.
Open the desired route.
Then, select the chain icon 🔗 in the left sidebar. There, you will find a button to create a new pipe. In the input form, enter the pipe’s attributes (at least the required fields).
The route is automatically taken from the parent element.
After saving, the pipe is created and assigned to the route. All changes to the pipe are discarded by clicking "Cancel".
Search, find and export objects
The "address search" can be used in a similar way to other map services. The city, street and house numbers are entered and possible hits are displayed. When a data record is selected, the map jumps to the GPS position.
The "advanced search" makes it possible to search objects in the database for specific values, for example all scans within a survey.
Steps:
under "Layer", select the "Scan" layer.
In the field "Survey" , define the desired region to be filtered.
By clicking on the "Search" button, the query is started.
By clicking on the "Search" button, all results are listed in a table and highlighted on the map. To remove the highlighting, you can use the new button with the crossed-out eye.
For an export to Excel, there is a button in the table that downloads the results directly as an Excel file.
