===== Concepts =====

"Optimize Data" optimizes one or more  [[180:technology:supported_formats:index|supported resource files]] into a single Orbit optimized resource file. \\
"[[171:desktop:tools:convert_data|Convert Data]]" converts any supported resources file into another supported resource file, one on one. \\ 

===== Sidebar =====

=== Data Type ===

One and the same sidebar is used to optimize Image, Vector and Point Cloud resources. \\ 
Choose the applicable data type. 

=== Source ===

Set the source file or the source directory. 

  * When activating the option source file, it is possible to drag and drop the resource file inside the entry field.
  * When using a source directory, all supported resource files of the specified data type inside the selected source directory and, optionally, its including subfolders will be optimized. 
  * For point cloud data, a source crs is required. If available, the CRS value is derived from the resource header or the accompanied [[180:technology:supported_formats:other:ord|Ord file]], else the [[180:technology:core:crs|Map CRS]] will set as default.

=== Target ===

Set the target file and directory. 

  * The source directory and filename are preset as default target file and directory. 
  * For point cloud data, a target CRS is required. The source CRS is preset as default.
  * Optionally when processing is completed, add optimized resource automatically to the [[171:desktop:dataset:index|dataset list]]. 

=== Options ===

It is not possible to set the data type. The optimize tool generates the according Orbit optimized resource files [[180:technology:supported_formats:image:omi|*.omi]], [[180:technology:supported_formats:vector:ovt|*.ovt]] and [[180:technology:supported_formats:pointcloud:opc|*.opc]].

** Point Cloud ** 

Options for Point Cloud data, see [[180:technology:supported_formats:pointcloud:opc|]].
  * Ascii source files
  * Strip Attributes
  * Filter points
  * Density

** Image data **

Options for Image data, see [[180:technology:supported_formats:image:omi]].
  * Pixel size
  * Image compression 
  * Threshold

=== Convert ===

Start process. \\
Upon cancel the ongoing processed will be interrupted and if possible the preliminary target file will be created.
