Our system's organizational structure is designed to accommodate various business needs through a three-tier hierarchy: Division, Site, and Files. This structure promotes efficient project and data management, ensuring ease of access and organization. Below is a detailed explanation of each tier, along with tailored recommendations for different types of organizations.
Overview

Division
Description
The Division is the highest level in our organizational hierarchy. It serves as a broad categorization unit, encompassing multiple Sites. Divisions help in segmenting large amounts of data and projects at a macro level.

Recommendations
Industrial Companies:
Purpose: Reflect internal divisions within the company.
Structure: Typically divided by geographical regions (e.g., North America, Europe) or by specific products or specializations (e.g., Consumer Electronics, Automotive).
Example: A global manufacturing company may have divisions such as "North America Operations" and "European Operations," each containing relevant sites and projects.
Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Companies:
Purpose: Segment and manage different customer profiles.
Structure: Each Division represents a distinct customer, ensuring that customer data and projects are kept separate. Essential for maintaining client confidentiality and preventing cross-visibility. Ensures that clients can only access their own projects and data.
Example: An EPC firm could have divisions named "Client ABC Projects" and "Client XYZ Projects," ensuring that the projects and data for ABC and XYZ are isolated from one another.
Site
Description
A Site is a mid-level organizational unit within a Division. It organizes and contains various Files like Folders, Pointclouds, and Design Projects. Sites are used to represent physical locations.

Recommendations
Industrial Companies and EPCs:
Purpose: Represent physical locations such as factories, plants, or operational facilities.
Structure: Each site should correspond to a specific location or facility within the division.
Example: Within the "North America Operations" Division, sites could be "Chicago Plant," "Dallas Distribution Center," etc.
When creating a new Site, it's essential to enter a physical address or geographic coordinates. This enables the Map View feature, allowing you to visualize all your sites on an interactive map. Easily navigate and manage multiple sites, visually track project locations, and enhance operational oversight across different facilities.
This feature is especially useful for large-scale operations with multiple sites, helping you stay organized and efficient.

Info
If the physical address is unavailable, you can input precise geographic coordinates to ensure the site is accurately positioned on the map.
Files
Description
Files are the fundamental building blocks within a Site. These include Folders, Pointclouds, and Design Projects, each serving specific functions in data organization and project management.

Recommendations
Industrial Companies and EPCs:
Purpose: Facilitate detailed organization and easy access to specific data and project components.
Structure: Organize files logically within each site to streamline workflows and data retrieval.
Example: Within the "Chicago Plant" site, files could include "Production Line Blueprints" (Folders), "Factory Floor Scan" (Pointclouds), and "New Equipment Installation" (Design Projects).
Each file has its own contextual menu, which can be opened by right-clicking on it or by clicking on the overflow menu. This menu provides additional functionalities like sharing and moving. You can even customize your thumbnail.

Pointcloud
The pointcloud cards represent your input files. You can import scans. Processing will occur automatically as the files are uploaded to enable them to be viewable from the Pointcloud Viewer. This processing doesn’t consume any processing units from your subscription.
Once the pointcloud is ready, you will be able to view it! See the Pointcloud Viewer section for all the details.
It is also possible to export RCP from this Pointcloud card.
RealityMesh
RealityMesh is the internal format resulting from point cloud to mesh processing. It serves as the foundational data for creating projects in RealityPlan.
While RealityMesh is not yet prominently featured in the user interface, it can be exported as OGC (Cesium tiles) for use with third-party software (e.g., Unreal or Unity). RealityMesh will play a critical role in space composition, where it will act as a foundational layer, combining various elements to build the "Twin" (a dynamic representation of a site).
Design Project
RealityPlan Web version of your projects, allows you to review your design layouts and collaborate with all your stakeholders easily. Those are the projects visible from the Prevu3D RealityPlan Hub desktop application, which offers enhanced engineering features and capabilities for more advanced workflows.
