Check If a RCP Project is Structured

This article describes the steps to follow to check whether the RCP project is structured or not.

---

When working with Cintoo, it is important to have a complete and accurate set of data files for RCP project. One way to ensure that all necessary files are in place is to check if the project's Support folder contains the data files of the scans of the RCP project.

Support folder should contain RCS files, which contain 3D data of the scans, and RCC files, which contain structured data (2D panoramic data) of the scans.

 

If Support folder is missing RCC files, it means that RCP project contains unstructured (unified) scans, which Cintoo Connect cannot manage with standard Terrestrial Laser Scan import option. If the structured file is not available try using Import Unified Point Cloud.

For example, working on a project called "MyBuilding", the example Support folder would be named "MyBuilding_Support" and it would contain RCS and RCC files for each scan that was taken.

To ensure that RCP project has all the information within Cintoo, it's essential that all of the scans in the project are structured and Terrestrial Laser Scan option in Cintoo Connect is used for the upload.
