To import a dataset to the project:
-
Go to File > Import a dataset. This imports a Point Cloud Manager Dataset [.lfd] into the current project. Repeat this option to import multiple .lfd files. A progress bar at the bottom right of the interface informs you about the progress of the import.
When importing a dataset that is owned by another project, the following message is displayed.

-
To add the dataset to the project as a reference, select the Load As Reference option. This means you will be able to do everything with the dataset except demolishing data.
-
Select the Do Not Load As Reference option to not add the dataset to the project.
