The Project Management interface displays a hierarchical view of a model, including satellite locations, databases, permission group folders, and permission groups. You use the Project Management interface to select the point cloud model that is provided by a third-party point cloud application.
After you install the third-party point cloud software, select the model to attach as the point cloud reference model in Project Management. See Attach a Point Cloud model for adding the point cloud models to the Smart 3D model. The New Point Cloud Model Reference command, and others relating to point clouds, are only visible when the third-party applications have been registered and are integrated with the software.
After you attach the required point cloud models in Project Management, open Smart 3D and Create a new filter by selecting the point cloud models under the Point Cloud tab in the Filter Properties dialog.
