Scan Projects and Clusters
The Projects/Clusters page displays the structure of your scan projects. A scan project usually consists of
a main project that has several sub-projects called clusters. For example, if you are scanning a multi-level
building as a project, each floor of this building might represent one cluster, and each of these floors or
clusters can have further clusters, for rooms.
The structure of a scan project is similar to this:
l Office building
l Floor 1
l Room 1
l Room 2
l Room 3
l Floor 2
l Room 1
l Room 2
Before starting a scan project, you can manually enter this structure here. You can reconstruct the
complete structure of your scan project within the scanner software.
Once the project structure has been created, assign the single scans to the corresponding clusters. To do
this, select a scan project and cluster before starting a scan. This project should correspond to the current
scanner position. For example, if you take scans in the office building on Floor 2, in Room 2, select room
2 from the project list, then start taking the scans in that room. The next scans are then assigned to the
selected project or sub-project room 2 until you select another cluster. This information is attached to
