Bug Reports / Re: Geoid heights and tiled model

Didn't actually noticed that. I agree it should be clear when it comes to export to TLS (a warning would help just not to waste time checking or miss that when it goes to customer).
From my experience there are a lot of conversion problems regarding coordinate systems with custom geoid in a lot of GIS software. Sometimes to avoid such problems in 3rd party software I switch Agisoft project definition from CS with geoid height to standard CS without geoid (agisoft assumes elipsoidal by default - this can be done just before exporting) with no CS height conversion/recalculation. So the CS definition (in agisoft and in exports) will say this is ellipsoidal height, but the actual height value will be geoid height. It is always better to check the result, but with small scale project and some GCP's potencial height errors that come from this "fraud" are not noticable in the products.
So use Geoid coordinates, but you can deceive agisoft that this is ellipsoid height he should use
Not a full solution but it can get the work done.
