An alignment bundle and single datasets serve different purposes within NavVis IVION:
Single Datasets:
These are individual datasets that have been uploaded to NavVis IVION. They represent specific sets of data captured during scanning, such as point clouds or panoramic images.
Single datasets can be managed individually, meaning they can be loaded, unloaded, or deleted separately from other datasets.
Alignment Bundle:
An alignment bundle is a collection of datasets that have been grouped together after being aligned. The purpose of creating a bundle is to save the locations of these datasets so that they are relative to each other.
Bundles can be used to create navigation graphs and maps for the associated datasets, facilitating navigation and visualization within the site.
Operations on a bundle, such as loading or unloading, affect all datasets within the bundle collectively.
In summary, single datasets are individual data files, while an alignment bundle is a group of aligned datasets used for creating navigation and mapping features within NavVis IVION.
