Creating a New Project

Project creation is split into several steps designed to help you get your scan data merged correctly into a point cloud. These are import, registration, and index. To start, hit the "New Project" button located on the home screen:



You will be prompted to provide the scan files you intend to combine into a point cloud next. You can elect to either select individual files or folders through the Window's explorer pop-up, or simply drag and drop files onto the target area in the center of the screen:



Just above the 'cancel' and 'proceed' buttons you will see the location your project will be saved. Click this text if you would like to save the project in a different location.



Once you've begun adding files the import process will begin automatically. All files must be imported before automatic registration begins. Manual registration is available as soon as the first scan has been imported. This may take a few minutes depending on number of scans and density of their data. You can see import progress through each scan's individual progress bar:



You can import additional files and add them to those you are already working on. Likewise, individual files can be removed from the list by the delete button on each individual scan.
