Locations denote a location, area or space of a project. The location tool can be accessed both from the Viewer and the Data Manager. In 3D, this tool filters reality, cameras and BIM with a bounding box, similar to the Sectioning Tool, but from a usability perspective, users can leverage its integrity to manage and organize all types of data including BIM, Drawings, Point Clouds and Images by assigning them to different locations.
