Hi John_H,
so then the pointcloud is a "traditional" structured TLS pointcloud and not an arial pointcloud as you get with the BLKFLY or BLK2GO (and for which you need version 2.0)
I have imported a 3,6 GB pointcloud made with a RTC360 in E57 format, exported in Cyclone, on a much smaller PC (32 GB RAM, GTX 1080 8192 MB) in Metashape 2.0 successfully. The pointcloud was referenced in Cyclone before to a local house system and was then imported in Metashape. The photos were then aligned to the pointcloud (3 photos were not). DEM and orthomosaic were derived from classified laser pointcloud.
*Also, when I tried importing the acans into 1.8, the images didn't appear at all, which is an issue as I will have to go back to that version when my 2.0 trial expires
Existing users of Metashape (versions below 2.0) can upgrade to version 2.0 at no cost.
Best regards,
Kiesel
