Each project bundles your site's metadata — name, location, visibility, and type — with whatever scene you have saved, so you can step away and come back to the exact same view, layers, and measurements. Projects are created on the AERO AI dashboard, then opened, edited, and saved from inside the viewer ### Feature * Group a site's metadata and its saved scene under a single named project. * Choose visibility per project — Private, Organization, or Public (read only). * Open a project straight from the dashboard or from inside the viewer. * Rename the current project inline without leaving the scene. * Save scene changes back into the same project with one click. * Save a brand new project from a blank viewer with "Save to Cloud". ### Creating a Project From the Dashboard Every project starts on the AERO AI dashboard. Sign in to your AERO AI account, open the Projects page, and click "+ New Project" in the top right corner to launch the three-step Create Project wizard.
1. Project Info. Enter the required Project Name, an optional Description and Client / Organization, pick a Project Type from the dropdown, between Drone mapping, AEC, Planning, Digital twin, Research, or Other, and choose a Visibility between Private, Organization, and Public read only. Click "Next" at the bottom right of the page to continue.
2. Location. This step is optional. Search for an address, drop a pin on the map, or type a Latitude and Longitude directly into the fields. You can also draw or upload a boundary GeoJSON to outline the site. Click "Next" at the bottom right when you are done, or click "Back" at the bottom left to return to Project Info.
3. Launch. Pick how you want to start working. The three options are stacked vertically in the center of the page. Click "Launch in SiEGA Web" at the top to create the project and open it in a new browser tab, "Launch in SiEGA Desktop" in the middle to save the project for use in the Desktop launcher later, or "Save Project Only" at the bottom to save it and return to the dashboard.
### Opening a Project in the Viewer You have two ways to open an existing project in SiEGA Web. From the AERO AI dashboard, find the project you want on the Projects page and click the blue "Open in SiEGA Web" button at the bottom of its card. A new browser tab opens with the project already loaded and its scene restored. From inside the viewer, open the Asset Sidebar on the left side of the screen and expand the Projects accordion at the top of the sidebar. The accordion lists every project on your account, with the project name on the left side of each row and a cloud download icon on the right side. Click the cloud download icon on the right to load that project. The viewer reloads to bring in the project and its saved scene cleanly
### Saving Your Changes Both the Projects accordion in the Asset Sidebar on the left and the Project subsection in Scene Layers on the right include a blue Save button that adapts to what you are working on. When a project is loaded, the button at the bottom of the subsection is labeled "Save Project". Clicking it snapshots the current state of the scene, including loaded assets, the camera position, measurements, annotations, and other scene contents, back into the project, so the next time you open it everything is right where you left it.
When no project is loaded the viewer shows an editable "Untitled Project" placeholder name in place of a real project, and the button is labeled "Save to Cloud". Clicking it creates a brand new project on your account with the name you typed, captures the current scene as its first save, and switches the viewer into that project. This is the fast path for starting work without going through the dashboard wizard first. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
