IoT Heatmapping

An interactive and visual way to interact with your data in 3D.

Heatmapping makes exploring your data more interactive and visual. It allows you to create a colour-coded representation of your 3D volumetric rooms, helping you quickly identify variations in values or conditions across a space.

For example, you might use a heatmap to visualise which areas of a building receive the most sunlight throughout the day, which parts of a building experience the highest temperatures, or which meeting rooms have the poorest air quality.

Viewing a Heatmap

If a heatmap exists for your model, viewing and interacting with it is straightforward.

Step 1: Ensure you are in a 3D view with no section boxes enabled and that you are zoomed out far enough to see the entire building.
You can do this by clicking the Home button in the top-right corner of the 3D view (1), then selecting the Heatmap button on the bottom toolbar (2).

Step 2:  The Heatmap pop-up window will appear.
Here you can define:

  • The floor level you wish to analyse
  • The sensor data you want to visualise
  • The date range for your data

When ready, click Load Heatmap to generate the view.

Step 3: After a short loading time, the model will animate and automatically cut to your selected floor.

The heatmap will then appear on the 3D model.

Red markers indicate the positions of sensors in 3D space — clicking on a marker will display a pop-up with the sensor’s current value.

You can open multiple sensor pop-ups at once and drag them to suitable positions for easier viewing.

Step 4: A green timeline will appear along the bottom of the window, corresponding to the date range you defined in Step 2.

Drag the blue marker along the timeline to move through the data and observe changes over time. By default, it starts at the far-right end of the timeline.

Step 5: When finished, click the Heatmap button again in the bottom toolbar to close the heatmap and return to your 3D model.

If you’d like to change your filters (floor, sensor or date range), click the Edit Filters button to reopen the Heatmap pop-up and adjust your settings.
