This page describes the generic workflow for point cloud based extensions.
Main Toolbar > Extensions
The extensions that use point cloud datasets have generic steps for selecting the source file and range of interest to use.
The target files and folders are always saved in a folder next to the opc file.
Displays the available Orbit Point Cloud files from the Dataset List. Choose the dataset to be used in the extensions. The pointcloud of a Mapping Run or a standalone opc file can be used.
A project represents an automatically created destination folder for the extension results next to the point cloud dataset.
For every execution of the extension, a new project should be created. Executing the extension in an existing project will overwrite existing data in that folder.
The project dropdown list gives the option to create, open, close, or delete a project.
The project label can be used (optionally) to distinguish different projects.
Depending on the extension, different methods are available to define the range of interest to be used in the extension. Every method has a list of possible actions to draw or select an object

Depending on the extension, the following sliders are used to define the width of the area of interest:

Draw the path or area on Map 3D. Hit 'Draw' again to edit vertices of the path or area.
Avoid using Map 2D as there is no possibility to control the Z value.
Select one/multiple objects (depending on the Reference) and add them to the extension.
Select the source dataset in the dataset list to make it active and add it to the extension.
If the reference requires one object and the dataset contains multiple objects, the first object will be added.
Only available for mobile mapping resources with trajectory.
Select segment from trajectory by clicking on the Map.
Allows to schedule job to be run later by delegating it to the Task Manager.
Start the process immediately.
