Preset Pipelines

MapPrism ships with six pre-built recipe presets that cover the most common processing workflows. Each preset is a complete recipe that can be submitted directly as an inline recipe in a job request.

Note: The recipe JSON shown in each preset page is a snapshot at a specific point in time (v3.0.0). Actual recipes registered in Ordo may differ. To get the authoritative current definition, query the Ordo step_executor table or check /ordo/reference/mapprism/ in the repository.

Choosing a preset

Use a direct preset (build-copc, build-ept, build-potree) when:

  • Your dataset is already in the correct coordinate system
  • You just need to convert to a web-ready format

Use a reproject-and-build preset when:

  • Your dataset is in a local or survey CRS that needs normalization
  • The target system expects a specific CRS (e.g. EPSG:3857 for web viewers)

Use a custom recipe when:

  • You need colorization (COLORIZE_AS_DEM or COLORIZE_FROM_TIF) before tiling
  • You need surface reconstruction (REGRID_LAS) for bathymetric data
  • You need multiple output formats from a single job

Common structure

All six presets share the same structure:

  • A main conversion step (BUILD_COPC, BUILD_EPT, or BUILD_POTREE)
  • A DATASET_INFO step running in parallel to extract metadata
  • A CALL_WEBHOOK step in on_exit that fires when the job completes

The webhook fires after DATASET_INFO completes, so the full metadata is available in the webhook payload.
