Abstract
A computer system displays a preview of a three-dimensional model of a physical environment that includes a partially completed three-dimensional model of the physical environment that is displayed with a first orientation that corresponds to a first viewpoint of a user. The computer system detects first movement that changes a current viewpoint of the user in the physical environment to a second viewpoint and updates the preview of the three-dimensional model, including adding additional information to and rotating the partially completed three-dimensional model to a second orientation. While displaying a second view of the physical environment that corresponds to the second viewpoint, the computer system, in response to detecting a first input, updates the preview of the three-dimensional model in the first user interface, including rotating the partially completed three-dimensional model to a third orientation that does not correspond to the second viewpoint of the user.
