TL;DR
In SDX-Cloud, a project is your main workspace for a site or job. You can use one unified project workflow to combine connected SDX systems, manual uploads, or both in the same project.

Summary
In SDX-Cloud, a project is your central workspace for a real-world site or job. Create one project per site, then add SDX systems, upload data manually, or do both.
Introduction
Every project in SDX-Cloud uses the same unified workflow. You do not need to choose a project type upfront. A single project can contain data from connected SDX systems, manual uploads, or both.
Tip
Create one project per site or job. This keeps datasets, results, and collaboration in a single workspace.

How data gets into your project
There are several ways to get data into an SDX-Cloud project:
- SDX systems (for example, SDX-Compact and SDX-4DVision): Connect the system to the project. Data is captured in the field using SDX-Mate and uploaded automatically.
- SDX-PocketScan via Sodex Mobile: Capture scans on site with the SDX-PocketScan and Sodex Mobile app. Data uploads to the project automatically.
- Manual upload: Upload drone images, point cloud files (.las, .laz, .dxf, .landxml), or other supported datasets directly through the Data section.
- DJI Dock integration: Automated drone flights upload directly to the project via DJI Flighthub.
Project sections overview
Once inside a project, the workspace is organized into tabs:
- Data: Import and manage data models, snapshots, and processing jobs. This is where you upload new datasets and monitor processing status.
- Infomap: Interactive 2D map with layers, measurements, and terrain visualization. This is the primary workspace for reviewing and analyzing captured data.
- Dashboards: View key project metrics at a glance.
- Visualization: Open advanced 3D views of point cloud data.
- Files: Store project files, download exports, and organize content with folders.
- Settings: Manage project configuration, including coordinate system, access management, systems, photogrammetry defaults, notifications, and tags.
Key project settings
- Coordinate system: Define the coordinate system during project creation. You cannot change it later. See SDX-Cloud: Coordinate Systems for details.
- Access management: Add or remove organization members and assign Project Admin roles.
- Systems: Link SDX systems to the project for automatic data capture.
- Photogrammetry settings: Configure the default processing provider, precision, and density for data model imports. See Photogrammetry Processing by Sodex for details.
- Project notifications: Enable email notifications for processing completion or failures. See SDX-Cloud: Project Notifications for details.
Best practices
- Use clear project naming, such as site name plus date or purpose.
- Organize files with folders inside the Files section.
- Use Infomap layers and SDX-CAD for structured measurement management.
- Invite collaborators through Access Management in project settings.
- Enable project notifications so you know when processing finishes.
