Hello Reservoirdog,
Thank you for providing the sample data.
However, I am not experiencing merging issues in the latest Metashape Pro version. following these steps:
- opened new project,
- imported first (larger) cloud with default (suggested) crs,
- imported second (smaller) cloud with the same crs,
- selected both clouds in the Workspace pane and used Merge option from the context menu,
- did not substitute the original clouds.
Can you please confirm, if you are getting proper result in the empty project, but merging in the source processed project does not give you the required result.
