Attach Reality Mesh

Used to attach a reality mesh by either entering the URL or browsing to a reality mesh file.

You can open this dialog from the following:

Ribbon: Drawing > Attach > Reality Mesh > Attach
Reality Mesh Attachment dialog: Click the Attach Reality Mesh icon

Setting	Description
URL or Filename	Allows you to enter the URL of the reality mesh file or browse to the file to attach it. Clicking the File Browser for Reality Mesh File icon next to this field opens the Select Reality Mesh File dialog from where you can select the reality mesh (.3mx) file.
Attach and Apply Geographic Coordinate System	This check box will be available if the reality mesh has a geographic coordinate system (GCS) associated with it. Turning on this check box will cause the GCS in the reality mesh to be applied to the current design file. However, if the current design file already has an existing GCS, then overwriting it with the reality mesh GCS may not be desirable. Unfortunately, due to the nature of reality mesh data, it is not possible to reproject the data to a different geographic coordinate system. Therefore, it is best to produce the reality model in the same coordinate system as the design data. If the design data is in a different GCS then it is necessary to use the reality mesh as a master design and attach the design data to that master with the "Geographic Reprojected", as this will reproject the design data to the reality mesh GCS.
