General / Importing Markers - Only detected when clicked as Control Points
« on: January 18, 2022, 06:35:58 PM »
Hello, I currently have a turntable style setup for capturing photos. On my turntable, I have 8 coded targets that I detect and import reference coordinates for to establish a global coordinate system. Following this, to scale my objects, I manually add 72 makers (as check points - unchecked box) and add scale bars between the added markers.
Maintaining the same setup, I take photos of new objects and create new models. To avoid manually adding makers each time, I have tried exporting the markers from the original file and then importing the markers into the new Metashape file. When doing this, the markers only become registered / appear on the dense cloud when I "click" them on, turning them into control points rather than check points.
Can imported markers (originally placed as check points) only be registered as Control Points? Or is there an alternative method for importing / exporting markers to maintain them being used as Check Points opposed to Control Points (within the file that the markers are being imported)?
Thanks for any advice / help.
