About this User Guide
This document serves as a user's guide for the 64-bit versions of TerraMatch. TerraMatch UAV is aiming to users who process point clouds collected with UAS (Unmanned Airborne Systems, also referred to systems carried by Drones). Tools available in TerraMatch and TerraMatch UAV work identically in all versions. Tools that are not available in TerraMatch UAV are marked with "Not UAV" in the documentation.
This user guide is written under the assumption that the reader knows how to use the basic features of the used CAD platform. You should refer to any documentation of your respective CAD platform whenever you need information about tools and functionality of the CAD platform itself.

•OR - alternate procedures or steps in a procedure.
•C:/TERRA - paths to directories of files on a hard disk are written with capital letters.
• - introduces the beginning of a workflow.
•When no distinction between platform versions (Spatix or Bentley) is necessary, this document refers to the CAD environment simply as "CAD platform".
Notes and hints are highlighted in light blue boxes.
Spatix documentation
The User Guide for Spatix is published by GISware Integro and delivered as PDF with the software. It can be opened with the Manual command from the Help menu of Spatix.
Terrasolid software runs on top of Spatix. The functionality of Terrasolid software is the same in Spatix and on top of Bentley products whenever possible. Any differences are clearly mentioned in the User Guide.
Bentley documentation
Terrasolid software runs on top of the full version of Bentley CAD products, such as MicroStation, PowerDraft, or OpenCities Map PowerView. Compatible Bentley products are listed on Terrasolid's webpage. The CAD platform causes no difference in functionality of Terrasolid software. Therefore, only the term "Bentley CAD" is used when referring to any Bentley product.
