Set the height in camera.reference.location

[doctorben]

Hello there, i have a question,

how can i set/ replace only the height (Z) value in camera.reference.location?

Thanks.

Hello doctorben,

I suggest the following:

Code: [Select]

z = 1000
camera.reference.location = PhotoScan.Vector([camera.reference.location.x, camera.reference.location.y, z])

Hi Alexey,

It looks that since PhotoScan became Metashape, camera.reference.location is read-only !
Indeed, I was not able to set camera location using scripting (I mean without any extern file), but only with file import.

Hello Yoann,

Can you please provide the code sample that I can use to reproduce the problem?

I've tried the following on some random project and got proper assignment:

Code: [Select]

chunk = Metashape.app.document.chunk
camera = chunk.cameras[0]
camera.reference.location = Metashape.Vector([1, 2, 3])

If you are to keep some of the original source reference values, make sure that camera.reference.location exists (in not None).

Hi Alexey,

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried almost same code before. When I try your code sample I got an error (image 1)

I guess the most crazy thing is that I got different results from camera.reference.location and from reference panel (image 2)

Hello Yoann,

Is the problem reproducible, when you open new Metashape Pro instance, add the image via GUI and execute this three-lines code again?

I would rather think that some class or method definitions have been corrupted by accidental improper usage.
