Saving all chunks
« on: May 18, 2015, 01:08:44 PM »
Hi guys,

Is it possible to save (script) all chunks into separate photoscan files.

example: from 1 file with 10 chunks -> 10 files including only 1 chunk?

thank you

Hello exalibrur,

You can make a copy of each chunk to the temporary variable, for example, temp_chunk = active_chunk.copy(), then create new document: doc2 = PhotoScan.Document() and then add the chunk:
doc2.addChunk(temp_chunk)
doc2.save(path)

Hi,
The command doc.addChunk does not accept a chunk anymore into its parameters.
Is it another way to save all chunks into separate projects without reloading the full project each time?

Hello Pierre,

you can use optional chunks argument in doc.save() function, in case you need to save a new project using only a few chunks from original project.

The following example should save each chunk from the source project under a different name:
Code: [Select]
doc = Metashape.app.document
for i in range(len(doc.chunks)):
   doc.save(path = "project_chunk_" + str(i) + ".psx", chunks = [doc.chunks[i]])
