Project settings

Images

Project image is a thumbnail image that is displayed on the priject list page. That is automatically generated from the first saved viewpoints unless user want to have a custom image. By clicking the image managers can change the image to their own custom image.

Startup image is used to replace the default quick help image that is shown when users open projects. This allows projects to put their own logos and other instructions into the startup image. 

Basic settings

Users can change:

  • Project name
  • Coordinate system
  • Elevation system
  • Description

Note: If projec already contains data that have been placed using coordinate and elevation system settings, these settings cannot be changed any more. You need to delete those datasets before you can chnage these settings.

  • Project rotation is used to adjust project't rotation in case default rotation is not good. Normally users don't need to change this.
  • Storage usage shows how much storage quota project is using. Project contents like imported data and used functionality like Sketch, Viewpoints, Topics, Feedback all use storage quota.
  • Public switch ON means project can be opened in Public role to view it without login
    • This is used to publish models on-line for public to view and give feedback
    • Tools that are available for public viewers can be customized with Roles editor
  • Template switch ON turns this project into an organization level template. Template projects can be used to make it more quick to create new proejcts for certain purposes. See Projects for more information. 
  • Default startup mode defines in which mode project starts for new users.
