The command options are set in the Properties bar.

Options:

Split mesh for optimization

If this option is enabled, for more convenient work the mesh will be split into several smaller objects. It is recommended to enable this option.

Convert to CS

If the elevation matrix was created in WGS-84 system, them its conversion is required to display in a drawing’s rectangular coordinate system. Possible variants: UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator), CK-42, CK-95. Also, it is possible Do not convert the elevation matrix, but it is recommended not to use this option.

In case the command is performed successfully, the message will appear:
