Project Data Bar - Loaded Objects

The Loaded Objects folder is part of the Project Data control bar. This folder lists all currently loaded data objects.

Loaded data objects have access to a dedicated set of context menu commands, which differ from Project Files. Once an object is unloaded, it disappears from this section.

Managed vs. Unmanaged Data

Your application's projects can contain both "managed" and "unmanaged" visual data. It can also contain system 3D objects such as grids and sections.

Managed data refers to 3D data objects that are referenced by the optimization workflow and are expected to be in place for optimal sequence calculations (for example, ultimate pit surfaces and economic models).
Unmanaged data refers to 3D data objects that support your project but aren't directly used by the optimization workflow (such as a textured topography file representing the natural surface, for example).

Some items in this section of the control bar can also appear in other sections, such as a 3D folder (if the loaded data is of a 3D visual type).
