issue with Photoscan.Model

[WickedAndy]

not sure if this is user error or a bug, but if I bring in a model using the "Import Model..." menu vs the python command, the model doesn't import into the proper location in space..

here's the basic way I am bringing in a model..

Code: [Select]

mdl = PhotoScan.Model()
mdl.load("c:/somemodel.obj",'obj')

chnk = doc.activeChunk
chnk.model = mdl

Hello Andy,

Thank you for reporting. We were able to reproduce the problem with referenced chunks (marked by [R]).
We will work on fixing this problem.

Dear,
The automated model loading still positions my models in a very weird coordinate system. Is there already a way to properly import models in the same coordinate system as the active chunk?
I'm using the Agisoft Pro 1.0.0.
Many thanks in advance!

Hello cstal,

Could you please specify what coordinate system you car using so we could try reproduce the problem?
Please also check that export + import model from the same chunk doesn't work correctly (if you are exporting model using Python please provide the script line).

Dear mister Pasumansky,
The project contains a large number of airborne images with known orientation- and rotation parameters. I'm using the Belgian national coordinate system for this (EPSG:31370), which is explicitly defined in the Ground Control settings.
The idea is to import a third party model, texture it and export it again:

Code: [Select]

model = PhotoScan.Model()
model.load("D:/modelPath_IN/modelName.obj", "obj")
doc.activeChunk.model = model

doc.activeChunk.buildTexture(mapping="adaptive orthophoto", blending="average", size=1000, count=1)
model = doc.activeChunk.model
model.save("D:/modelPath_OUT/modelName.wrl", format="vrml", texture_format="jpg", export_texture=True)

It seems that the model is loaded, but the export returns a black model, transformed in a very strange coordinate system. I double checked the coordinates of the obj-file to be imported, and they are correct. Moreover, when I perform this procedure manually via Tools -> Import -> Import Mesh and after selecting my coordinate system, it works fine.

Re-assigning the (same) coordinate system using Python by

Code: [Select]

cs = PhotoScan.CoordinateSystem()
cs.init("EPSG:31370")
doc.activeChunk.projection = cs
puts the project in a weird viewpoint and still does not load the models correctly.

I hope you have a solution.

Thanks again for your assistance

Hello,
I would like to give a short update: all data in the project has been transformed from the Belgium coordinate system to UTM31N coordinates, using WGS84 (EPSG::32631). When I run the script again, the loaded models (also converted to UTM) are still not correctly positioned. This procedure did not solve the problem. Do you have a solution yet?
Thanks again!

Dear cstal,

Please check the latest build (1768). To import georeferenced model you need to use chunk.importModel() function with the given parameters.

Dear Mr. Pasumansky,
Thank you very much for the suggestion. It seems to work now!
