Using a 3D model is ideal for mapping assessments as it enables the FGP engineers to visualize site conditions better and evaluate important factors such as blockages, pockets, obstructions, etc. when running the study. Mapping assessment can be carried out using 2D layouts but additional input information such as site photos, detector installation photos, detector view photos, etcs are required to assist with visualisation.
