Your own environment on the one measured world — you shape how you see and work, never the truth beneath it.
My ORB is personal: your projects, saved views, layers, settings and your own designs. But it is not a private copy of the world — it is a lens on the one Observable Reality Base that everybody works on. Why it is built this way: so that every user's decisions rest on the same measured reality. If everyone could edit the world, there would be as many truths as users. In ORB there is one, and your environment is how you look at it — not how you rewrite it.
Everything in My ORB falls on one side of a clear line: what you may arrange for yourself, what you may add as your own intent, and what stays fixed for everyone — the measured facts, and the science that reads them.
Which domains and layers you show, default location or project, units, language, saved views, watch-dossiers (your own change-monitoring), notifications, your profile. Personal — it changes nothing in the data.
Your designs, traces, placed objects, annotations and analyses. They enter on top of the measured base, labelled as your intent and carrying your provenance (who, when, to which standard). You add; you do not overwrite.
The measured facts (buildings, cables & pipes, elevation — the sources), their provenance and the audit trail, the history — and other people's records. Read-only for everyone.
The norms and standards (NEN, ISO), the deterministic analysis rules and the domain science ORB reasons with. You cannot bend the science to a preference — the rules are fixed, shared and versioned, so the same input always gives the same answer.
In an ordinary GIS, BIM or digital twin, users change the model directly — and the truth drifts. Two people, two versions, no shared source. ORB inverts it: the measured base is immutable and shared, and every figure on it carries source · standard · margin. You place your intent on top, class-labelled, and everything you do is logged. So personalisation never corrupts the shared truth, and every decision stays checkable — measured, not assumed — now across many users.
This is what makes ORB distinctive: it takes “measured, not assumed” and holds it across a whole platform of users. You get a personal, flexible environment and a single, defensible truth — not one at the cost of the other.
My ORB adapts to who you are on the platform. Your role sets what you may configure and add — but the line above holds for everyone: no role edits the measured base.
Builds and analyses: designs, traces, placed objects, and runs the checks against the measured base. Adds design-class work; cannot alter measured facts.
Manages the project: scope, members, assignments and deliverables. Sees the project's full picture; the base stays shared and read-only.
Manages the organisation: users, roles, data-use registrations and retention. Governs access and declarations, not the measured content.
Platform-wide administration. Even here the measured base and its audit trail remain the fixed reference — the truth is not an admin setting.
Data stays organisation- and project-bound: underground and project data are used only for the project they were provided for, and never leave it — access is role- and organisation-based, and logged.
Because ORB is a shared platform on real data, entering it means accepting how it may be used. Each user signs the user agreement and the relevant declarations — lawful, project-bound use, the underground-data use and processor declarations, and the retention period — recorded per user with version, date and identity, for the audit. Your responsibilities are part of My ORB, not fine print.
My ORB gives every user a personal, flexible workspace without ever putting the shared measured reality at risk. That is ORB's promise extended to people: one measured ground and one body of knowledge, many lenses, one audit trail. Log in or register, or talk to us about setting up your organisation.
