# Convert Project

This command converts a CloudWorx cloud (Read-only) to a standard cloud. It also can extract trajectories (mobile scans only) and images. Thus, you will be able to use all functions.

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> Load a CloudWorx cloud and launch the command.

1. The **Data type** is automatically detected. If both Static and Mobile data are available (aka hybrid project), you may choose to convert **All** data, only **Static data** or only **Mobile data**.
2. Set the **Maximum number of points** parameter. A selection of most representative points will be done in the CloudWorx cloud according to this limit. If the conversion takes a lot of memory, a dedicated message will indicate the amount of required memory and the current amount of free memory. Optionally disable the import of intensity.
3. **Images conversion**:
  1. Check **Convert CubeFace images to spherical images** if you want to convert the cubic images into spherical ones (if the project contains cubic images).
  2. If mobile data: you can adjust the **Minimum step** distance between images to reduce the number of imported images and you can **Import side photos** coming from TRK devices (if the project contains such images).

> [!TIP]
> ### Tips & Tricks
> 
> - To extract a part of a CloudWorx cloud, you have to select it using limit plane, slice or box functions before launching the command:
>   - Only images inside the unclipped area will be extracted.
> - The command is also accessible from the [Contextual Menu](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-contextualmenu).

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> - For IMP data, the number of kept points should be lower (half of requested points) and the maximum is about 50 million.
> - Perspective and spherical images will be grouped in a set of images (see [Image Management](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-image-management)).
> - Image masks will be generated when converting.
