> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The user needs to have Cyclone CORE installed on the same computer.
> 
> Only the master Cyclone CORE ModelSpace View (the first one to be connected to in the CloudWorx project) is shown in the ScanWorld Explorer.

### **Using the Tool**

After executing the command, the **ScanWorld Explorer** dialog opens.

- **ScanWorlds**lists the ScanWorlds associated with the ModelSpace View.
- The tabs on the left require one or more ScanWorlds to be selected to show the relevant information.
  - The **Scanners** tab displays the field of view (FOV) of the scanner and provides information about the type of the original laser scanner used.
  - The **Scans** tab allows hiding or showing an individual point cloud.
  - The **Unified Clouds**tabshows point clouds made up of several point clouds, usually for different locations, that have been aligned and written as a single cloud.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** To select several ScanWorlds, use the **Shift** key.

- The **Align to Scanner** button ![image-20240228-152525.png](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/image-20240228-152525.png) on the top left will align the viewpoint in the CAD software to match the viewpoint of the selected scanner.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** A ModelSpace can be an individual object within a database or a sub-object of a ScanWorld. A ScanWorld can also be made up of several individual ScanWorlds based on the laser scanners location, which have been aligned/registered to the same coordinate system. All the ScanWorlds pass their scans to the ModelSpace View.
