I did this test after reading Andreas1206's post (https://www.agisoft.com/forum/index.php?topic=13066.0)
I have tested the same set of images in different versions of Metashape (v1.6.4 - v1.7.0 - v1.7.1).
I used the same alignment from v1.7.0 and generated the mesh in the different versions using the same settings:
Source Data: Depth Maps
Quality: Ultra High
Face Count: High
Depth Filtering: Mild

The results are truly different.
Version 1.7.1 (the faster than the other versions) seems to be the worst in this case.
Do you also have these problems with the latest version?

Yes. I can confirm that and several users have already reported the same issues unfortunately.
Another identical report already posted yesterday in the Bugs sub-forum:

Hard for me to say but I don't do what you dealing with 3D products. I am on more of aerial photography and GIS side so I'd say most of my project with this software DOES a really good job !!

It takes a lot of hard work to put into and learning curve on this software. I would give them the 5 stars of 5.

For me, when I read your message here , I would always suggest make a backup of your work if things goes wrong. You can always go back to the previous one.

And for the new beginners I can understand how frustrated you are and I was like that before but I didn't give it up and put my skills to use it... I love it this software...

I would not trade for any other software because if this software had not been out , I would be stuck dealing with ERDAS doing the similar work...

Just sayin' and keep learning !!!

Honestly I also wouldn't trade this software with anyone else.
I have been using it since 2014 and have seen it grow and improve version after version.
I do not work in the field of aerial photography or GIS (I would love to learn this too) but I collaborate with companies and museums for the reconstruction of objects in 3D both for the conservation of cultural heritage and for advertising (statues, monuments, ancient finds, but also common objects such as shoes, etc. etc.).
This post was not meant to be a destructive criticism.
My post was just to bring to light the problems I am experiencing regarding my work and to understand if the problem I encountered was only mine and also bring it to the attention of the Agisoft Team to give it feedback, from who use Metashape, to improve.
In this case it is not a question of improving the learning curve (I am not a beginner), here we speak that version 1.7.1 has problems and does not reconstruct parts of an object that instead in previous versions of the software are quietly reconstructed.

Mak,

I am not trying to be harsh or criticism here but I was just saying that the software has some improving and there are a lot of room to grow because there are some features that need to be added....
I've been using since 2016 when I first start using it was recommend by a co-worker and got some training . Then after the training, I was on my own to learn on curve here...

I do apologize but it was my suggesting...

I do always google to help and some answer and found some solution on my part.
