# Import LGSx

![LGS_icocurv_1043x1043.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/LGS-icocurv-1043x1043.svg)

This command allows you to import data from an LGSx file.

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> No selection is required to launch the command.

1. Give the password, if any.
2. You can import the file to have a Cloudworx cloud, trajectories, streamable images and limit objects. CloudWorx clouds are added in the folder **CloudWorx Group** and can be converted later (see [Convert Project](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-convertprojectc) for more information about the data conversion).
  1. Choose to **Create image navigation objects** or not to be able to display images on-the-fly while you navigate in 3D environment (see [Image Navigation Toolbar](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-imagenavigationtoolbar)). For mobile data, one object will be created per track.
  2. Select the **Coordinate System** which will become the project WCS.
3. Or you can import data and **Convert** them to have a standard cloud, trajectories (only mobile scans) and images.
  1. Choose between **static** and **mobile** data.
  2. Choose the objects to import.
  3. Set **Maximum number of points** parameter. A selection of most representative points will be done in the CloudWorx cloud according to this limit. Optionally disable the import of intensity data.
  4. Images options:
    1. **Convert CubeFace images to spherical images** allows to convert the cubic images into spherical ones (if the project contains cubic images).
    2. if it is a Mobile scans: you can set a **Minimum step** to import images every x meters along the trajectories and you can **Import side photos** coming from TRK devices (if the project contains such images).

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> - CloudWorx clouds always are read-only data, represented in the tree by a small red cloud ![CwCloud.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/CwCloud.svg) . If you have just imported the data with the **Import** option, you probably have to extract the data later with [Convert Project](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-convertprojectc) or [From CloudWorx](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-fromcloudworxc) in order to use it.
> - Objects are always imported in the WCS of the document. In other words, coordinates in the coordinate system chosen at import are identical to coordinates when the WCS is activated.
> - Perspective and spherical images will be grouped in a set of images (see [Image management](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-image-management)).
