&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is a distinction made between three types of resources:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Standalone resources: these can be a vector file, an ortho image, a WMS service, a textured mesh, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;3D Mapping data: a combination of several resources (images, point clouds, photo positions, trajectory data) that can be organized in an Orbit run and used as one resource in Orbit products. More information of the concepts of an Orbit run can be found on the &amp;#39;Getting started with Orbit 3DM Desktop&amp;#39; wiki page.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Orbit 3DM Run Export from ContextCapture v16: This applies to the specific case when your 3D Mapping data is an export from ContextCapture v16, using the export option for Orbit within ContextCapture. More information on how to do this export can be found &lt;a href="https://youtu.be/0UcjqToQSIc"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Standalone resources&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;STEP 1&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;ACCESS SHARING TOOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Get access to 3D Mapping Cloud&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt; (&lt;a href="https://3dmapping.cloud/"&gt;https://3dmapping.cloud/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Download Orbit 3DM Publisher (&lt;a href="https://orbitgt.com/kb/server_install"&gt;https://orbitgt.com/kb/server_install&lt;/a&gt;) + make sure you have a valid license key (&lt;a href="https://orbitgt.com/kb/license_activation"&gt;https://orbitgt.com/kb/license_activation&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;STEP 2&lt;/span&gt;: ACCESS PREPARATION TOOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Download Orbit 3DM Content Manager + make sure you have a valid license key.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;See wiki page on &amp;#39;&lt;a href="/products/3d_imaging_and_point_cloud_software/w/wiki/51746/getting-started-with-orbit-3dm-desktop"&gt;Getting Started with Orbit 3DM Desktop&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39; &amp;gt; 1. Installation and activation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Download the Upload Tool&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://orbitgt.com/kb/3dm_cloud_upload_tool"&gt;https://orbitgt.com/kb/3dm_cloud_upload_tool&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;STEP 3&lt;/span&gt;: OPEN DATA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Drag and drop the file in Orbit (in the Dataset list or Map View component).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;STEP 4&lt;/span&gt;: CONVERT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Check the format of the resource:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;If the resource is an Orbit format: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Skip this step&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;If the resource is not in an Orbit format: Convert it to an Orbit format. See wiki page on &amp;#39;&lt;a href="/products/3d_imaging_and_point_cloud_software/w/wiki/51746/getting-started-with-orbit-3dm-desktop"&gt;Getting Started with Orbit 3DM Desktop&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39; &amp;gt; 4. Convert data to Orbit format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;STEP 5&lt;/span&gt;: OVERVIEW IN CATALOG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Add the resource to the Catalog Tab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:inherit;"&gt;How to manage your resources in the Catalog Tab &lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;&lt;a style="color:#000000;" href="https://orbitgt.com/kb/catalog"&gt;https://orbitgt.com/kb/catalog)&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:inherit;"&gt;Choose the type of resource from the dropdown.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:inherit;"&gt;Choose the subtype with the bullets (by default, &amp;lsquo;None&amp;rsquo; is selected).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;Each column consists of metadata of the resource&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:inherit;"&gt;Right-click on a selected resource to see the context menu of the resource.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;STEP 6&lt;/span&gt;: ADD TO SHARING TOOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;For 3D Mapping Cloud: Start the upload through the &amp;lsquo;3D Mapping Cloud Upload&amp;rsquo; sidebar (&lt;a href="https://orbitgt.com/kb/3d_mapping_cloud_upload"&gt;https://orbitgt.com/kb/3d_mapping_cloud_upload&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;For 3DM Publisher: Add the resource in the Publisher Console (&lt;a href="https://orbitgt.com/kb/3dm_publisher"&gt;https://orbitgt.com/kb/3dm_publisher&lt;/a&gt; &amp;gt; 3DM Publisher Console).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. 3D Mapping data&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;STEP 1&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;ACCESS SHARING TOOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Get access to 3D Mapping Cloud&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt; (&lt;a href="https://3dmapping.cloud/"&gt;https://3dmapping.cloud/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;STEP 2&lt;/span&gt;: ACCESS PREPARATION TOOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Download Orbit 3DM Content Manager + make sure you have a valid license key.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;See wiki page on &amp;#39;&lt;a href="/products/3d_imaging_and_point_cloud_software/w/wiki/51746/getting-started-with-orbit-3dm-desktop"&gt;Getting Started with Orbit 3DM Desktop&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39; &amp;gt; 1. Installation and activation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Download the Upload Tool&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;STEP 3&lt;/span&gt;: OPEN DATA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import 3D Mapping data&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Identify and download the correct template &amp;ndash; based on the acquisition system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Prepare your data according to the template&amp;rsquo;s description on the KB.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import the data in Orbit. See wiki page on &amp;#39;&lt;a href="/products/3d_imaging_and_point_cloud_software/w/wiki/51746/getting-started-with-orbit-3dm-desktop"&gt;Getting Started with Orbit 3DM Desktop&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39; &amp;gt; 2. Basic Concepts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Add 3D Mapping run&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;See wiki page on &amp;#39;&lt;a href="/products/3d_imaging_and_point_cloud_software/w/wiki/51746/getting-started-with-orbit-3dm-desktop"&gt;Getting Started with Orbit 3DM Desktop&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39; &amp;gt;2. Basic Concepts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Or drag and drop the &lt;em&gt;orbit_mm_run.omr&lt;/em&gt; file of the run in Orbit (in the Dataset list or Map View component).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;STEP 4&lt;/span&gt;: CONVERT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Optimize all images (&lt;a href="https://orbitgt.com/kb/mapping"&gt;https://orbitgt.com/kb/mapping&lt;/a&gt; &amp;gt; Optimize Imagery)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;STEP 5&lt;/span&gt;: OVERVIEW IN CATALOG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;In the Catalog, calculate image availability and data volume for the run.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;If the dot in HTML5 column is red: hover over the dot and identify the reason why the run is not ready for upload. There are several factors that can cause this:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;The images are not optimized to OMI format (&amp;lsquo;Processed&amp;rsquo; images).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;The image file names don&amp;rsquo;t match the names that are referred to in the photo position file. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;The number of images doesn&amp;rsquo;t correspond the number of photo positions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s a file missing in the run (no point_cloud.OPC if the run has a folder &amp;lsquo;pointcloud&amp;rsquo;, no trajectory_simplified.ovt, etc.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;--&amp;gt; Update your run to solve the issue and calculate image availability and data volume again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;If the dot in HTML5 column is green: The run is ready for upload! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;STEP 6&lt;/span&gt;: ADD TO SHARING TOOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;For 3D Mapping Cloud: Start the upload through the &amp;lsquo;3D Mapping Cloud Upload&amp;rsquo; sidebar (&lt;a href="https://orbitgt.com/kb/3d_mapping_cloud_upload"&gt;https://orbitgt.com/kb/3d_mapping_cloud_upload&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;For 3DM Publisher: Add the resource in the Publisher Console (&lt;a href="https://orbitgt.com/kb/3dm_publisher"&gt;https://orbitgt.com/kb/3dm_publisher&lt;/a&gt; &amp;gt; 3DM Publisher Console).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Orbit 3DM Export from ContextCapture v16&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;This applies to the Mapping Run data.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;The textured mesh can be prepared following the steps described in the first section of this document: 1. Standalone resources&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Add 3D Mapping run&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;See wiki page on &amp;#39;&lt;a href="/products/3d_imaging_and_point_cloud_software/w/wiki/51746/getting-started-with-orbit-3dm-desktop"&gt;Getting Started with Orbit 3DM Desktop&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39; &amp;gt;2. Basic Concepts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Or drag and drop the &lt;em&gt;orbit_mm_run.omr&lt;/em&gt; file of the run in Orbit (in the Dataset list or Map View component).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Edit 3D Mapping run: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;If the photo positions of the planar camera are not visualized as blue dots in the Map View (check the box next to &amp;#39;planars&amp;#39;), these should be separately added through the &amp;#39;Edit run&amp;#39; procedure.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Go to the step of &amp;#39;Planar1&amp;#39; in the Edit Run procedure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;#39;Choose File&amp;#39; and choose the following file &amp;lt;Mapping run&amp;gt;/planar1/import/import_locations.xml&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Note! Make sure the path to the location of the images is correct in the file &amp;lt;Mapping run&amp;gt;/planar1/original. Change it if necessary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;In the Catalog, calculate image availability and data volume for the run.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;If the dot in HTML5 column is red: hover over the dot and identify the reason why the run is not ready for upload. There are several factors that can cause this:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;The images are not optimized to OMI format (&amp;lsquo;Processed&amp;rsquo; images).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;The image file names don&amp;rsquo;t match the names that are referred to in the photo position file. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;The number of images doesn&amp;rsquo;t correspond the number of photo positions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s a file missing in the run (no point_cloud.OPC if the run has a folder &amp;lsquo;pointcloud&amp;rsquo;, no trajectory_simplified.ovt, etc.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;--&amp;gt; Update your run to solve the issue and calculate image availability and data volume again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;If the dot in HTML5 column is green: The run is ready for upload! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;STEP 6&lt;/span&gt;: ADD TO SHARING TOOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;For 3D Mapping Cloud: Start the upload through the &amp;lsquo;3D Mapping Cloud Upload&amp;rsquo; sidebar (&lt;a href="https://orbitgt.com/kb/3d_mapping_cloud_upload"&gt;https://orbitgt.com/kb/3d_mapping_cloud_upload&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;For 3DM Publisher: Add the resource in the Publisher Console (&lt;a href="https://orbitgt.com/kb/3dm_publisher"&gt;https://orbitgt.com/kb/3dm_publisher&lt;/a&gt; &amp;gt; 3DM Publisher Console).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Template
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;= Depending the combination of the supported mapping resources (influenced by the vendor, post processing software, carrier set-up, available data and other specifications) the data should be imported in a different way. A template is a well-defined set of configurations that is related to a known system.&lt;/li&gt;
