Elements Property Information, Damage Assessment, and PDF Reports can be accessed easily in the Viewer. To do so, either search for a location using the location search bar, or right click on any location and click Get Info. Elements information associated with the location is available in the location’s info card.
Elements Property Information
To view Elements Property Information for a location, click on the Property Info button in the Elements section of the location’s info card. Property information for that location will be displayed. The building footprint and parcel boundary will also show in blue on the map.
The property info section can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the dropdown arrow next to the Property Information header.
Immediately below the header, the date of the imagery used for the analysis is displayed. Tip: Make sure you have the matching collection selected on the timeline to avoid confusion or discrepancies between what’s on the screen and what the property information is saying.
Property measurement values can be toggled between Imperial or Metric units by clicking on either Imperial or Metric.
Visibility of property footprints, including the building footprint and parcel boundary, can be toggled on or off by clicking on the checkbox.
The property information can be copied by clicking on copy table.
The rest of the list shows the property information, which contains information such as whether there’s a pool on the property, roof type, material, and condition, the extent of the building footprint, defensible space, and other useful information. A complete list of the available Property Features, as well as definitions for each item, can be found in the Elements Property Information Data Dictionary here: https://vexcel.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/APIDOCS/pages/2264694802/GetPropertyInformation+-+v1.4#Data-Dictionary.
Elements Damage Assessment
Elements Damage Assessment information is available for locations affected by Gray Sky events occurring in March 2022 or later.
To view Elements Damage Assessment for a location, click on the Damage Assessment button in the Elements section of the location’s info card. Damage Assessment information for that location will be displayed. The building footprint and parcel boundary will also show in on the map. The building footprint will display in a color that corresponds to the level of damage it has experienced. Undamaged buildings are shown in green, moderately damaged buildings are displayed in yellow, and heavily damaged or destroyed buildings are displayed in red.
The information sections can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the dropdown arrow next to their respective header.
Immediately below the header, the date of the imagery used for the analysis is displayed. Tip: Make sure you have the matching Gray Sky collection selected on the timeline to avoid confusion or discrepancies between what’s on the screen and what the property information is saying. Some Gray Sky events have multiple collections, and because conditions change very quickly in these situations, it’s important to ensure you’re using the same imagery that the Damage Assessment is based on.
Property measurement values can be toggled between Imperial or Metric units by clicking on either Imperial or Metric.
Visibility of property footprints, including the building footprint and parcel boundary, can be toggled on or off by clicking on the checkbox.
The damage assessment information can be copied by clicking on copy table.
The rest of the list shows the damage assessment, which contains information about the level of damage the building has sustained, and the condition of the roof. Pre-damage property information generated before the Gray Sky event is shown in the list below. A complete list of the available Damage Assessment information, as well as definitions for each item, can be found in the Elements Damage Assessment Data Dictionary here: https://vexcel.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/APIDOCS/pages/2410315777/GetPropertyDamage+-+v1.4#Data-Dictionary.
