Scanners on Revit are 3D objects inserted at the same time as the point cloud, with the difference that they are invisible by default. It allows, thanks to a manipulation, to change the camera of the viewer of the website. They are represented by blue bubbles on the site and by a scanner in Revit.
You are informed when connecting or disconnecting between Revit and the website by a dialog box located at the bottom right of the web viewer.
Once the connection is established, display the scanners of a point cloud, then press "Bubble Selection".

If the action was performed correctly, the mouse will go into selection mode.
You can exit this mode by pressing escape.
