Project Manager Overview

The Project Manager in NUBIGON allows you to create, manage, and organize your projects effectively. To access it, go to File > Project Manager.

Default Project

When NUBIGON launches for the first time, it automatically creates a default project named NUBIGON in your Documents folder.

OneDrive Consideration: If your Documents folder is synced with Microsoft OneDrive, the default location for projects will be within OneDrive’s synced folders. This may lead to errors when opening point clouds. To avoid such issues, create a new project on your local drive (see instructions below).

Creating a New Project

When you open the Project Manager, only the current project is displayed. To create a new project: 

1. Click the New button. The text boxes will activate, and the Current project text box will display “New project”. 
2. Enter a name for your project. 
3. Click the browse icon to select a different location for your project folder. 
4. Once you've set the name and location, click the Accept button to create the new project.
   

Setting a Project

To switch to a different project:

1. Open the Project Manager.
2. Click the Set button.
3. In the file dialog, navigate to and select the desired project folder.
4. Click Select Folder to switch the project.

Important: Octrees created in one project cannot be opened in another project. For more information, see this guide.

Changing Temporary Files Location

While processing point clouds into octrees, temporary files are created. To optimize performance and avoid disk space issues:

1. Go to the Project Manager.
2. Assign a secondary drive as the location for temporary files.
3. This practice helps maintain smoother workflows.
