Project Browser Scans Panel

Grouping Scans

The Scan Group tool helps manage large numbers of scans by organizing them into groups. Create scan groups directly within the Project Browser. This functionality enables the categorization of scans into multi-level groups as needed. Scan Groups can be created and viewed in both Real View (including the minimap) and Point Cloud View.

Create Scan Groups in the Project Browser

All scans (and subsequent scan groups) reside under the All Scans list in the Scans panel.

In the Project Browser, click Add Scan Group.
Enter a group name and press Enter. A new scan group appears as a subgroup of All Scans.
(Optional) Click Add Scan Group next to the new group to create an additional nested sub group.
Drag and drop scans into each group as needed.

Tip: Press and hold Ctrl to select multiple scans at a time. Also, press and hold Shift and pick the first and last scans to select a range from the list.

Create Scan Groups in Canvas

You can assign scans to existing groups from the canvas using the Scan Group tool.

When clicked, the canvas goes into a scan group editing mode. Each scan location is represented by an icon in the canvas.
