Introduction

Geocap provide empty folder structure for various types of projects. This will give you a starting point to get organized with your own project. A project template either gives you a ready made folder structure, or it gives you a suite of folders to choose from.

Create a new, empty project

  1. File > New > Project
  2. Select the General template
  3. Give your project a proper name e.g. Singlebeam-Example. Avoid special characters (except <space> _ and -) in these names.
  4. Select a Directory for your project and observe the total project path, e.g. C:/tmp .
  5. go Click Next.
  6. Pick Select a Generic folder (or none at all)
  7. Click Finish
  8. Check out the folder structure on disk and observe the db-folder. This is where your project stores the main project file and an index file in addition to the project files. The main project file is now C:/tmp/Singlebeam-Example/db/Singlebeam-Example.db. Never alter or edit the content of this folder - your project may then get corrupted and unreadable.
Tip
titleTip

An empty project may be used for communicating relevant data to colleagues or for analysis and trouble shooting by support@geocap.no.

For sending parts of a project to us in Geocap support, even only a single dataset, you may copy the dataset (or a folder) from your main project and paste it into this empty project. Then zip and send the disk folder Singlebeam-Example to us.
