1. Avoid backing up your project folder to the cloud
The octrees are optimized for high-performance rendering on local devices. Automatically syncing octrees to the cloud can corrupt files and cause errors. Instead, use alternative offline backup solutions to secure your projects.
2. Create a new project if your Documents folder is synced to the cloud
NUBIGON creates a default project in the Documents folder. If this folder is synced with Microsoft OneDrive, the default project location will also sync to the cloud. This can result in errors when creating octrees from point clouds. To prevent issues, create a new project in your local drive.
3. Do not modify your octrees
Newly generated octrees are stored in the "octrees" folder of your current project.
To ensure proper functioning, please do not:
- Rename or reorganize folders in the "octrees" folder.
- Move octrees to another location.
If you need to move files to manage disk space, move the entire project.
If you have accidentally moved an octree already, please move it back to its original location.
4. To open octrees from another project, set that project first
Octrees can only be opened from the project they were created in.
Example:
- Octree X is generated in Project A.
- User switches to Project B to work on other tasks.
- To open Octree X again, the user sets Project A and opens Octree X.
The same restriction applies to scenes containing octrees. If a scene with an octree is saved in Project A and later loaded in Project B, the octree will not open.
