In this section
You can do this
Coordinate systems
Define a starting point for the project as an XYZ coordinate (degree of latitude, longitude, and elevation).
The starting point is necessary for aligning models and digital reality images (laser scans), creating point clouds, and other tasks that require a precise location.
If a coordinate system is not defined for the project, HxGN AEC Project Viewer uses the default coordinate system for the tenant (the company using HxGN AEC Project Viewer).
Integrations
Select systems that the project needs to share data with.
For example, your project might get model files stored on a common data environment such as Autodesk Construction Cloud - Docs.
For help with how to fill in this section, see Connect a project to an integrated system.
An administrator must first integrate a system with HxGN AEC Project Viewer before you can choose it for integration with your project.
