Project tree

The Project Tree pane is accessible on the View tab. It is a tree-like structure that displays the data objects in the Reality Studio project on the Data tab and the associated layers that can be visualized in the Globe view on the Visualization tab. It is also an entry point for accessing tools and starting processes.

Data tree

The data tree is accessible on the Data tab of the project tree. It displays the objects that represent the data that has been added to or generated in the project.

The data tree is organized into three main groups: Dataset, Alignments, and Reconstructions.

Dataset group

The Dataset group contains all the data that has been imported into the project including the following:

Capture Sessions—Images, orientation, camera data, lidar trajectories, and lidar point clouds captured in a single flight mission
Geometries—Geometries indicating regions of interest, water bodies, built structures, and quality control areas used to optimize and improve reconstructions results, and accelerate alignment processing
Control Points—3D coordinates (and their image measurements if available) used in alignments to aid in georeferencing or quality assurance

Alignments group

The data objects related to the alignments created in a project are displayed in the Alignments group. The components of each alignment in the data tree are organized into the following subgroups:

Inputs—Contains links to the camera sessions, control points (and their image measurements if available), and region of interest chosen as input for the alignment
Intermediates—Contains intermediate data objects such as automatic tie points, manual tie points, or measured control points
Results—Contains the optimized camera sessions that result from the alignment process

Reconstructions group

The data objects related to the reconstructions created in a project are displayed in the Reconstructions group. The components of each reconstruction in the data tree are organized into the following subgroups:

Inputs—Contains links to the camera sessions, lidar sessions, and geometries chosen as input for the reconstruction
Products—Contains the geospatial products that result from the reconstruction process. Products can include the following:
- DSM
- DSM Metalayers
- True Ortho
- DSM Mesh
- Point Cloud
- Mesh

Visualization tree

The visualization tree is accessible on the Visualization tab of the Project Tree pane and contains the layers associated with the data objects in the project. You can control how the layers appear using the visualization tree.

The visualization tree is organized into three main groups—Dataset, Alignments, and Reconstructions—following the same structure as the data tree. The structure of the tree can be changed using the Filter tool.

To turn the visualization of a layer on or off, hover over the layer and click the visibility button:

This layer and all of its underlying layers are currently shown. Click the button to hide them.
Some layers of this group are currently shown. Click the button to hide them all.
