Export Multiple Regions from a Point Cloud in a Single Export

[JamesHolland]

Hi All,
Is there a tool in Metashape Professional to export multiple regions from the dense point cloud in one export.  I have 30 study sites and a very high density point cloud and would prefer to only export the study sites to minimize the file size of the export.
Thanks,  James

Hello James,

If you need to split the big point cloud into smaller tiles, then just use Split in blocks option in the Export Point Cloud dialog.

In case you have different areas of interest, then your request can be completed using custom Python script that will export points based on polygonal shapes that have been pre-loaded (imported) to the project. If you need assistance with the latter option, providing that you can import or draw polygonal shapes in the project corresponding to the areas of interest, please let me know.

Hello Alexey,

can you send me a Python script to export a point cloud for the selected region (a polygonal shape imported to the project)?

I don't find that script on the Metashape Scripts GitHub repository.

No script needed for this as you can simply right click and select outer and inner for the shape and it will show up in your export box and only export the inside or outside of the selected shape/shapes.
