# Image Import Options

The user has a choice when to import images that come with many scanner formats. The option is on the right-side panel in the import area.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Clicking this option will affect all scanner data loaded into the import area.

If the check box is not selected:

- The data will import without images or colorising the point cloud with image colour.
- The scanner data will import faster as a result. Time will vary widely depending on the data type. However, the user should expect to see a 50% decrease in import time on some data types and import image settings.
- The images can then be added later if the raw data is still available.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS stored the user-defined **Register Using** settings.

To add images to a project:

1. Select the Setups.
2. Right-click and select **Import images**.

3. If the raw data is in the same location on disk, then the import process will begin.
4. If the data has been moved, then a dialog will appear asking for the data location.

5. Select the **Local File/Folder** check box and then the … box to set the path. Another location can be added by selecting the **Multiple** check box.
6. Direct connection to BLK360, BLK360 G1, BLK2GO, and Cyclone FIELD 360 is possible. Select the corresponding check box and then the … box to set the location information.
7. When done, click the **Import Images** button to begin the import.
