Once you have provided values to these fields, click on “Choose Files”. This will prompt a file selection dialog where multiple files can be selected for uploading. The following file types are currently supported:
- Text Files (ASCII) with comma or space separated values.
- LAS files
- LAZ files
- ZIP archive files containing compressed Text, LAS or LAZ files.
Click on “Create” to begin the upload process. You can track the upload operation from the “Pending” section in the project’s page.
