Project Trees Overview

VRGS organizes project data using three complementary tree structures: the Project Data Tree for spatial data objects, the Project Interpretation Tree for geological interpretations, and the Project Collections Tree for shared project resources.

Project Data Tree​

Purpose: Displays spatial data (point clouds, meshes, images, etc.)

Location: Left panel, "Data" tab

Key Features:

  • Items have checkboxes for visibility control
  • Right-click for data-specific operations
  • Hierarchical organization with subgroups
  • Individual items can be selected to view properties

Project Interpretation Tree​

Purpose: Displays geological interpretations and measurements (orientations, polylines, surfaces, etc.)

Location: Left panel, "Interpretations" tab

Key Features:

  • Items have checkboxes for visibility control
  • Sort by stratigraphy or structural set
  • Right-click for interpretation-specific operations
  • Organize by stratigraphic horizon or structural classification

Project Collections Tree​

Purpose: Displays shared project resources (facies, viewpoints, templates, etc.)

Location: Left panel, "Collections" tab

Key Features:

  • Project-wide resources used across all data
  • Right-click for collection management
  • Most collections use default context menus
  • Items are shared across all spatial data in the project
