[olihar]

yes, but you didn't explain anything in detail. your speech was unusable.

It was identical to what Alexey said... but ok

I always enjoyed playing spot the difference. This was a tricky one.

• If you are working with the latest release version (2.1.3) of Metashape
• then you can draw the shape in the Model view
• right click on it and set Boundary type to Inner Boundary
• right-click on the model's label in the Workspace pane
• choose "duplicate" option and in Duplicate Model dialog enable "clip to boundary shapes" option

No you draw on the ortho or DEM to make a cut.

You can select outer or inner cut by right clicking.

Hello sonno,

If you are working with the latest release version (2.1.3) of Metashape, then you can draw the shape in the Model view, like olihar mentioned above, right click on it and set Boundary type to Inner Boundary, then right-click on the model's label in the Workspace pane, choose "duplicate" option and in Duplicate Model dialog enable "clip to boundary shapes" option.

Then if you are happy with the result, you can remove the original model from the project and leave only the duplicated copy with the proper hole with the straight edges.
