Open in Viewer
Next to the Dataset’s name is the button to launch the Digital Surveyor viewer. This is where you view the point cloud, imagery, trajectory (if applicable) and any drawn features.
Surveys Menu
Mach9 refers to any set group of line or object features as a survey. These could be created through Digital Surveyor’s automation, drawn in or imported via a DXF. These surveys for any dataset will be listed on the bottom half of the Dataset Page in the Survey Menu.
In the Survey Menu, users will also be able to see the file path location through their Drive to the dataset, have the ability to import a DXF file as well as Request an Automated Survey.
