View datasets

To monitor the status of the dataset generation and view other datasets in the project, switch to Datasets.

Select one of the following active buttons to filter the display.

• Not started

• In progress

• Failed

• Completed

Alternatively, to filter the display based on the following parameters, select the FILTERS button.

To display specific columns in the dataset table, select the COLUMNS button.

Column descriptions:

Status: Hover over the Status icon of a relevant row to view the generation progress

Name: Name of the dataset to be generated

Last Modified: This column is updated whenever a dataset is upgraded, generated or demolished

Date Started/Date Finished: The start date and completion date of a dataset generation

Time Taken: The time taken for a dataset to be generated.

Scans: The total number of scans in a dataset.

Input Files: Displays the scans selected to generate a dataset

When all the checks are successful, resource generation begins. After a complete point cloud dataset and Viewer project is created, you can access the Viewer project through CONNECT.

Upgrading a dataset

Upgrading a dataset enables you to use your dataset with newer features and integrate with AVEVA products, such as AVEVA Everything 3D and AVEVA Point Cloud Manager Desktop.

Only those datasets that have been published through the AVEVA Point Cloud Manager Desktop application need to be upgraded.

To identify published datasets, hover over the Status icon.

For datasets that can be upgraded, the Upgrade option is enabled as shown in the image below:

To upgrade a dataset:

1. Select the context menu for a published dataset and then select Upgrade.

   

   You can select multiple datasets to be upgraded at once.

2. On the dialog that is displayed, select OK. This triggers the upgrade process.

   

3. To view the progress of the upgrade, hover over the Status icon.

   

   During the upgrade process, the project is locked, making it unavailable to all users. When the upgrade is complete, the status is displayed as shown in the image below:

   

   On successful completion of the upgrade process, Solid Point Cloud data is made available as shown in the image below.

   

Recreating Solid Point Cloud data

You can recreate Solid Point Cloud data for a previously generated dataset through the context menu on the Datasets tab.

4. On the Datasets table, select a dataset and from the context menu, then select Recreate Solid Point Cloud.

   

5. From the list displayed, select a suitable cell size. You should be able to view the previously generated cell size and the current selection.

   

6. To toggle Solid Point Cloud data between color and intensity, select Enable Colour and click Next.

   

7. Then, select Start to see the pipeline in progress. On completion, you should be able to view the selected SPC cell size in both Viewer and AVEVA Point Cloud Manager Desktop.

To delete a dataset, from the context menu, select Delete. You can also select multiple datasets to delete at once. You will still be able to roll back to snapshots that were created before and after deleting datasets.
