Boundary Box to Coordinate System.py

[scopp]

Bounding Box to Coordinate System.py sounds an incredibly useful tool, but I'm being incredibly thick about actually using it.  I've obtained the code off the python script site as a text file, but have been unable to run it through photoscan. I was hoping someone could run through the process of using a python script for me or direct me to where the information can be found. Python use for dummies essentially.

Hello Stephen,

The steps are the following:
1) open http://wiki.agisoft.com/wiki/Bounding_Box_to_Coordinate_System.py page,
2) copy the contents of the script body (on gray background) to text file and save it with ".py" extension,
3) in PhotoScan project window open Run Script dialog using Tools Menu,
4) browse for the script saved during the second step, no arguments are required, just press OK,
the script would be executed.

Hi Alexey,

Followed your instructions to the letter, which was pretty much what I had been attempting in the past but still no success. Any thoughts?

Hello Stephen,

At what step do you encounter a problem? Maybe you can provide a screenshot of the error displayed in the Console pane or attach the script file?

Hi Alexey,

No error display whatsoever, the run script dialog box just disappears and the bounding box remains unaltered. Here is the script cut and pasted from the website into Wordpad without yet changing the file extension to "py"

All the best

I'm having the exact same problem as this, except I'm doing it for copying the bounding box. After I execute none of the other chunks bounding box has been altered.

How can i get this to work???

Hello 3D_Scan_Fan,

Do you have the chunks in the project aligned with each other?

Also please check that you are using the latest script version:
