Playing a bookmark
Clicking anywhere on the image will recreate the viewpoint in the 3D viewer according to the models and revisions setting.

3D settings
Settings like field of view or incremental rendering set in the 3D settings will be reproduced.
Information panel
Selections:
If selections have been made in the information panel these will be remembered when the viewpoint is played.
This makes it easy to select different sets of objects.
This also allows you to give a set of objects a color that is different from the default color of the objects when you normally open them from the models section.

This can be filtered with a text filter on the bookmarks page.

The user that created this bookmark and when it was created.
It is not possible to delete bookmarks that are shared with the project by users that are no longer part of the project
Copy and original bookmark
If this bookmark was made by copying a bookmark that was shared with the project by another user you will be able to go to the original bookmark by clicking "Open the original bookmark" here.
Similarly if you are looking at a bookmark of which you have made a copy you will be able to "Open my copy" here.
Sharing
Private
Only you will be able to see this bookmark.
You might have to turn of the publicly shared URL to make a bookmark private again.
Share with project
Project members will be able to filter for this bookmark and make copies of it.
Public URL sharing
In the public URL sharing part of a bookmark you can create a public URL.
An expiration date can be set after which the URL will no longer open the bookmark.
If there are any models with 4D work plans in the project, these can be applied to the bookmark.
Access required: Project administrator
When a URL is created anyone in the project can share it with people outside the project.
The public bookmark can be set to be locked to revisions or to follow the latest revision just like a regular bookmark.
If you follow latest revision you could use this to have a client or a government official follow along with how the project is going.
Be sure to update the bookmark if any new models get added though!
If you add a 4D workplan they could even see the objects appearing as they get installed on the site.
Organization owners can request for all public sharing features to be turned off for all their project. Some projects require this for security reasons.
If you would like to turn off all public sharing features please contact support with the black chat button next to your profile picture on the top right or via support@catenda.com
To create a public URL the bookmark first has to be shared with the project.
To enable a public bookmark click on Edit sharing and check the "Enable public url" checkbox.
Here you can also select an expiration date for the link.
Note: if your bookmark contains any previews of IFC documents or point cloud these will not be shared with the project for security reasons.
Models and revisions
Options:
Follow latest revision

Lock to original revisions
Below the options the models will be listed with the revision of the model that will be shown when the bookmark is played.
Documents
Here you will see any documents that might have been loaded in the 3D viewer when the bookmark was created. These can be the following:
- IFC documents that have not been connected to a model
- Point clouds
- GML
Here you will see the location of the document in the file structure, the name of the document and the revision of the document that will be shown.
These documents will also be visible with public bookmarks.
