scale does not export

[DCK]

The scale I set in PhotoScan does not seem to carry over when I export models to third party software (Meshlab or Geomagic).

In PhotoScan, I set scale on a model by placing two points. I know the distance between these points. I highlight the two points in the Ground Control panel, then select "Create Scale Bar." I enter the distance between the two points. Then I export the model in ply.

The scale is not retained in Geomagic or Meshlab. Is there a step I am missing?

A separate question: in the Ground Control settings, I am able to change the measurement accuracy settings. For example, the default scale bar accuracy is 0.001 m. Do I get better scale bar accuracy if I change this setting to 0.000001?

I think you need to optimize it first for it to keep that scale. Did you do that?

[DCK]

Nope! Where do I optimize?

Hello DCK,

You need to press Update button in the Ground Control pane to apply the changes.
