Central Integration

Central’s integration with Leapfrog Geo lets you work in different project revisions, publish models to the server, view documents and annotations and reply to annotations. Projects shared within Central can be downloaded and worked on locally in Leapfrog Geo. When you have finished working on a project, select the objects you wish to publish to Central and add notes about the revision. New projects can be added to Central by building them from scratch or by uploading an existing project.

The rest of this topic describes how to connect to Central from within Leapfrog Geo. It is divided into:
