Hello,

When TBC creates a project there is a VCE file and a folder with the same name.

Can the TBC template project folder structure be customized?  In other words, can we create a collection of standardized folders under the project template folder, something like the following?  The idea is that these folders would be automatically created when a project is created from a project template.

Thanks!

Andrew

Andrew,

Pretty sure the TBC project folder is there to provide record of the data imported (nice for QC) and to host referenced images/PDFs/point clouds. I Keep a folder structure, like the similar to the one you suggested, but manually and outside the TBC project folder.

Hi Rob,

Thanks - yes, you're right.  I've since learned that you can turn off project subfolders in TBC options.  Then the project is just the VCE file.  We'll manage "processed" and "to be processed" my moving the files. I believe this would disable project thumbnails, which are nice - but that's the tradeoff for having an organized and clean folder structure.

I create a WinZip executtible that has a pre-defined folder structure that I run after the Job is exported from Access.   I copy and paste data into Original Files, and work in a Working Files subfolder.  Other folders provide deliverables and OPUS solutions from base files.
