2. Basic concepts
Run (Mobile Mapping Run, Aerial Mapping run, Oblique Mapping Run)
= A single set of mobile mapping data, combining all resources of one collection effort, go, mission, track or session.

Template
= 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.

4. Convert data to Orbit format
Orbit supports both internal and external formats. Resources should be converted to Orbit formats for better performance and sharing them in the 3D Mapping Cloud and 3DM Publisher.
KB: List of supported formats:
https://orbitgt.com/kb/supported_formats
Optimize tool
Converts a resource from external format to internal Orbit format (OPC, OMI, OVF, OVT).
Converts one or more files to one merged file: 'many to one' conversion.
