CDF shows what type of 3D data, CAD or point cloud, is used for each model based on the type of last revision. Use revisions in a 3D model for the same type of 3D data and the physical site. The revisions reflect different points in time in a CAD model or a point cloud model.
Use only one type of 3D data within each model ID.
