And you can use Add Link to link in Local Parent Subprojects and External Parent Subprojects to your current project.

Local Parent Subprojects

This feature allows you to link different sub projects together into a Parent project. This is very useful at it allows you to create a sub project that only includes as an example: bathymetry and reservoir data. Then in another sub-project you may have all the well bore trajectories. Then by linking these projects into your parent project you can focus on the field design and layout. If the sub-project with bathymetry/reservoir data gets updated with more or better bathymetry then your project is updated automatically. Furthermore, by using FieldTwin User Roles and Project Permissions you can easily control who can upload, modify and/or remove 3D Surfaces, and only allow the projects to be linked into other projects. See the illustration below for an example:

Screenshot

The project above has two (2) linked sub-projects namely "bathy", which contains the bathymetry and reservoir data only, and "wells" that contains the well trajectory data only.
