 Point Cloud Data Disappeared

Hi Team, over the last 6 months i have been compiling a wastewater asbuilt using LAS files from a ViDoc, only to find this morning when i opened the job that the point clouds seem to have disappeared. All i am left with is a single point for each point cloud region i have created. When i inquire on each region it tells me they have 0 points. See image below.



Things to note:

1. I am using TBC version 5.8
2. I am new to TBC so there is a high chance that i am the problem.
3. I am working on a share drive.

I am wondering if somehow the point cloud data has become disassociated with the project, kind of like an XRef in CAD.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, since posting this i have actually answered my own question, so please feel free to close this thread.

As suspected it was to do with the Share drive. After doing some detective work we found someone external from the project had accidentally deleted our as-built folder entirely and had the IT department re-instate it without letting us know. In the process breaking the link bn our TBC job and where the LAS files were stored. 

Safe to say our "Survey" folder is now read only

Cheers
