Feature Requests / Add Scale bar option during ortophoto export
« on: April 11, 2016, 06:17:05 PM »
Hi, I’m currently writing a thesis on documentation of cultural heritage and I use photo scan to produce rectified photos (via the Orto photo export) of building facades. I would like to ad a scale bar to these photos to make them measurable by the reader. It would be a fantastic function if photo scan could automatically ad a scale bar of a user specified length (ex. 2 meters) to an exported Orto photo based on the model scale.
Another way to solve it might be to ad the option (when exporting Orto photo) to create a additional TIFF file containing a scale bar corresponding to the Orto photo. This could then later be added to the photo by the user in Photoshop or InDesign
I found an old thread here on the forum about this function were one writer suggested the use of AutoCAD to add a scale bar to the Orto photo. If anyone here have knowledge on how to do that, any advice would be appreciated
