Processing settings include the following:

**Temporary Storage**: Set the temporary storage directory here. Certain processes utilize temporary storge (LiDARSnap, SLAM). When processing large data sets (100 GB CLOUD file or larger), ensure that you have at least 200 GB of free temporary space.&#x20;

**LiDAR Range Disambiguation - Number of parallel processes**: This setting pertains to the [Disambiguate Lidar Ranging](/spatialexplorer-8-and-9/user-interface/toolbars/workflow/lidar.md) tool. Multiple raw lidar files (RXPs) can be processed in parallel. The number of parallel processes that can be run is dependent on your workstation's processing resources, however with most modern workstations, this value can be set to 3 or 4.&#x20;
