Optimize Data optimizes one or more supported resource files into an Orbit native, single resource file.
Convert Data converts any supported resources file into another supported resource file, one on one.

One and the same sidebar is used to convert Image, Vector and Point Cloud resources.
Choose the type of data for conversion.

Set the source file or the source directory.
When selecting a source directory, all supported resource files of the specified data type inside (for imagery it's not possible to select the file type) the selected source directory and, optionally, all its subfolders will be converted.

Note for Point Cloud data.
The source CRS must be set. If the CRS cannot be derived from the resource headers or accompanied Ord file the Map CRS will be used.

Set the target file. By default source name and location will be used as target.

• Add results to dataset list : Option to add the converted result files directly to the Dataset List.

Note for Point Cloud data.
The target CRS must be set, by default the source CRS will be used as target.
