# Quick Start Guide

The following general instructions explain the major functions of the LiDARMill platform. For more in depth instructions and details, see the [Post Processing Workflow](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/lidarmill-cloud/workflow).

## Create a new project

To [Create Project](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/lidarmill-cloud/workflow/project), click the red plus button in the bottom right corner of the **Projects** section.

## Upload Files

[Upload your navigation (.nav) and LiDAR (.ldr, .rxp, or .plp) data](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/lidarmill-cloud/workflow/missions#navigation-lidar-camera-files), along with your [reference station data](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/lidarmill-cloud/workflow/reference-station).

## Create Pipelines

Create a pipeline in the **Pipelines** tab inside your project. LiDARMill will request certain input files, and you can indicate these files among the ones you just uploaded.

### The NavLab Pipeline

Create a [Navlab pipeline](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/lidarmill-cloud/workflow/processing-tools/navlab-pipeline) to post-process your trajectory data in forward and reverse directions using Tightly Coupled solutions.

### The Spatial Fuser Pipeline

Create a [Spatial Fuser Pipeline](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/lidarmill-cloud/workflow/processing-tools/spatial-fuser-pipeline) to fuse your NavLab Trajectory data and your LiDAR data into a point cloud that you can view and analyze in a Point Cloud viewer right in your browser window. From here, you can download and deliver in industry standard LAS or LAZ formats, or run other LiDARMill Pipelines.
