This would be great to have tabs to show two models side by side (like in GIS apps, for example).

Python and Java API / Re: Creating Mesh Programatically with Python API
« on: March 29, 2021, 09:10:33 PM »
Hello,
Is there a way to do this in v1.7.1 or v1.7.2 to create a mesh from a list of points?

General / UPDATED: Brief report on workflow using 2019 MacBook Pro (15-inch)
« on: January 26, 2021, 04:36:43 AM »
Hello everyone,
UPDATED from original post from Dec 20th, 2020:
Attached is a brief summary report of a project completed using drone imagery for surveying 16 site locations (images per site ranged from 67 to 745). Many people have asked me about Apple computers running Metashape. I hope this helps give somewhat of a general idea for some of the Mac users out there.
Also, like many of us know, there are numerous factors that influence how the various steps in Metashape run. Please be aware that I mainly focused on collecting the times (as reported in Metashape) for running the photo alignment, dense cloud, and mesh model steps. Higher alignment was used to improve orthomosaics but also as a comparison for standard 40,000/10,000 alignment key point and tie point limits.
Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks.

Hi Alexey,
The higher photo alignment (200,000 / 100,000) increased the resolution and visual appearance of the orthomosaic images slightly. This is also something I thought about as well. I may re-run the models to compare times with the 40,000 / 10,000 settings.

General / Re: Alignment accuracy & dense cloud quality effect on mosaic resolution?
« on: October 29, 2020, 12:20:27 PM »
Hi,
If the alignment and dense cloud do not affect the orthomosaic quality, then does it matter if only some of the images align (not all of them)? Or can you run through those steps quickly to simply get to the orthomosaic generation?

Bug Reports / Re: Fail to reimport Mesh properly to Photoscan after Zbrush Cleanup
« on: May 22, 2020, 10:54:27 PM »
I have this same issue but when exporting into Blender, not changing the orientation, scale, etc. and then re-importing back into Metashape and it is moved away, different size, and I can't texture it properly.

Feature Requests / Re: Need a tool to export a few select markers or shapefiles
« on: April 03, 2020, 10:59:50 AM »
This would be a great tool to add, simply some check boxes to select which shapes or markers to export. One way around this is to create folders for the markers. I also create shape groups and export those. But, sometimes it would be nice to also have that flexibility or which shapes to export rather than rearranging the folders/groups, and then exporting.

« on: March 12, 2020, 07:46:05 AM »
Question 1:
I too would love to view multiple models at the same time to make visual comparisons. I wonder if there will eventually be a linking feature so you can view models of the same object over different times to compare while rotating, etc. I usually make that chunk in a different document all together and have two Metashape windows open. It's a bit tedious but works for the most part. Would love to have these features though in the future!

General / Create distance "buffer" in textured model
« on: March 12, 2020, 07:42:42 AM »
Hi everyone,
I am wondering if it is possible to create a "buffer" around a center point in my models and then have the portion of the model that is not included in the buffer to either be hidden or deleted (or it could be highlight and then I would go press the X icon to delete the selected sections outside the buffer circle). I am not seeing a way this is possible using the GUI, so would this require some python scripting? I want to measure the surface area of these models but have them be consistent with a specific radius from the center point. My models are georeferenced.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have this some issue. I go to File-> Import -> Model and the ply point cloud imports, but nothing appears.

General / import ply file and combine images
« on: February 28, 2020, 02:12:55 AM »
Has anyone taken a point cloud (preferably ply file) and combined images on top of it to enhance to model texture? When I import a ply file, nothing appears.
