Hi everybody,
I just recently switched from another software to Metashape (standard) and I am quite happy with it
Since I often have many objects to process simultaneously "Batch Process" is a real game-changer for me.
But there is one thing I really do not get along with...
Most of my objects are appr. the size of a football. My first step is to load all photos sorted in chunks per object (20 chunks or more) and then start a first batch process to algin the photos.
Next I manually resize the region. The region is usually far too large because Metashape "sees" also a lot of the room surrounding the object. Having done this, batch process does the rest.
This resizing of the region although is a pain in the …
The only tool I found is the “Resize Region” Button. Here I get blue dots at the corners of the region-box, that I can move.
But moving things in 3d in 3 different axes on a 2d screen is not intuitive at all. So I end up moving one point and then zooming/panning the camera to see, where the point went and then repeat this many times to finally get a small box precisely fitting the intended object.
Is there a better way to do this ?
In the previous software for example I used, this was done much easier.
One did not move the corner points but simply one of the six sides of the box. The sides only moved along the normal-axis of this surface. That made it very easy and quick to handle.
Maybe there is a possibility to centre the Box in the object and then resize it from this point, or ….?
Or can a I get a 4 window view (top, fornt, left, perespective) ?
I hope you get the point
Thanks for any hint, that makes this step more convenient!
