Creating a Project and uploading data in the browser
1. Now let's start using Reality Cloud Studio by creating our first project!
Click the hamburger menu on the left-hand side of the screen and then click Reality Cloud Studio to begin your journey into creating projects directly within the platform.
When you first log into the platform you will notice that there are no projects and no data - so let's quickly remedy that by creating our first project within Reality Cloud Studio.
Click Create project
After you have clicked create project you are presented with a small dialogue box which allows you to create the project name and a project description, add a location for your project, and add any labels which will allow you to track different types of projects across Reality Cloud Studio.
You're also able to add a cover image which will make the project easily recognizable in the project list.
You may also add team members and assign roles within a given project at this stage.
You can always come back in the future and edit these details at any point, so if for example you want to change your cover image you can do that by editing your project information.
Once you are happy with all the information that you have provided click Create Project once more and you'll be taken to the next page where you can start adding data to your project.
Click on the project in order to access it
Once every 24 hours you will be asked to confirm that you have read the terms and conditions related to uploading data.
Please ensure you click confirm in order to continue.
Uploading data to your project
Now we would like to add some data to our account.
You can either do this my dragging and dropping files directly into the browser or by clicking select and navigating to a folder to add your relevant files.
You can also use the Data Flow Utility to manage your uploads locally.
You are able to upload a large variety of file formats to Reality Cloud Studio. You can find a list of all the files that the platform supports here Reality Cloud Studio Import and Supported File Formats
For this example, we are uploading an *.LGS file which has been produced using Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS.
After you have selected your file click Open to begin the upload process
The data will immediately start to upload. The speed of upload will depend on both the size of your file and the speed of your broadband connection.
You can now continue to use the platform while the upload is processed in the background.
We will cover the process of opening the data and navigation within your uploaded asset as a separate training workflow.
