      How to Upload a CSV of GCPs to Your Project - Step-by-Step Guide

      Uploading Ground Control Points (GCPs) is crucial for aligning your project to real-world coordinates. Here's how you can upload a CSV of GCPs to your project using the Rock Cloud.

      Steps to Upload GCPs to Your Project:

      1. Navigate to Your Project:
        • Open your project on Rock Cloud.
        • Click on “Manage Project.”
      2. Upload Your GCPs:
        • Select "Add Ground Control Points."
        • Choose “Upload CSV.”
      3. CSV File Requirements: Ensure your CSV file includes one of the following headers:
        • Title, X, Y, Z
        • Point, Easting, Northing, Z
        • Name, Latitude, Longitude, Elevation
      4. Optional Headers:
        • Description (For additional notes).
        • Checkpoint (Use "1/0," "true/false," or "yes/no").
        • Disabled (Use "1/0," "true/false," or "yes/no").
        • Custom Coordinates: Add custom fields like custom_x, custom_y, custom_z (e.g., Title, X, Y, Z, custom_x, custom_y, custom_z).
      5. Verify and Submit:
        • After uploading, you can edit the properties and verify them before submitting.

      Important Notes:

      • Ensure your GCP elevation units match your dataset’s projection (e.g., NAVD88 US-ft).
      • The supported format is .csv.
