Having means of organizing large amount of scan data is vital when it comes to preparing it for
further processing.
Layers are an industry standard for this.
Limit Boxes and Cutplanes are easy means of quickly navigating to just the area of interest and
also storing this view for future use.
The ability to define local user coordinate systems are a basis for easy navigating and processing
of the data by aligning it to just the right orientation.
And using UNIFY is most important prior to further processing the data, be it inside Cyclone or
also inside any of the CloudWorx plug-ins.
