Optimize projects for Nebula
Generally speaking, Nebula can work with any PointCab Origins project. However, to optimize loading speed and to enable 3d model view via Potree, there are optimizations that can be made within PointCab Origins R8. This page will guide you through this process.
INFO
This option is only available in PointCab Origins 4.0 R8 and higher!
Within PointCab Origins, open the File tab and select Prepare PointCab Nebula files.
A new job will be shown in the Job List.
Selecting that job will open the Job Editor with Nebula specific options.
After you select the options you need, click on the arrow to start processing.
Update missing only
This option updates missing exports. For example if you added a new section since the last time of your Nebula export.
Potree
This option generates a PointCloud for Potree, a 3d viewer that is being used in Nebula. Without it, the 3d viewer will not be available.
WARNING
This export will increase your project size by 3 - 5 times! Consider if you really need it. This is due to the fact that Potree cannot work with highly compressed point clouds that PointCab provides.
Sheets
This option generates optimized tiles for the Nebula Viewer map component and enables almost instant loading of sections and layouts. This option is always recommended.
