Add partial survey

If a partial survey is available, add the survey by following the steps below:

1. In the Registration panel, right-click the project node and select Import to this group. This brings up a browser.

2. Select the survey file to be added and then select Open. Supported survey formats are .crd and .k.

These are effectively composite files, comprising consolidated data from all field survey stations.

Users may adapt unsupported formats to comply with the standard Point Cloud Manager files, please review the examples listed below.

Sample format of a .crd (coordinate) file

T001 0.000 0.000 0.000
T002 13.000 11.000 16.000
T003 11.250 10.019 32.233
T004 19.845 96.100 34.892
T005 67.228 56.872 34.766

Target name, X, Y & Z stored in metres.

File can be space or tab delimited.

Sample format of a K (Kramer) file

T001 7 0.000 0.000 0.000
T002 7 13.000 11.000 16.000
T003 7 11.250 10.019 32.233
T004 7 19.845 96.100 34.892
T005 7 67.228 56.872 34.766

Note: There should be six blank lines at the top of the file. The first figures should be the target identifier, the second column should contain a figure seven (Point Cloud Manager will ignore), with the remaining X – Y – Z readings. (Easting, Northing & Elevation) All numbers recorded will be interpreted as metres. This is to copy the format of the Kramer survey adjustment package.
