Add markers in standard version...
« on: June 29, 2015, 08:22:18 AM »
Would love to be able to drop the cash on the Pro version. The one thing keeping me away from even the Standard setup is the inability to add markers to my photos. Works in Pro. Not in Standard.

As far as I can tell, the only reason to keep it out of Standard is measurements. But I'm pretty sure that once we've made the dense point cloud, we could just export that and make our own reference points (and then therefore measurements). Either way, making measurements isn't my reasoning for the request. It's aligning photos. Even with a large set of photos, I'm seeing Pscan make misalignments and there's no way to fix it. It's completely automatic which works, in my case, 90% of the time. That last 10% would be reeeeaaally helpful and would make it a completely solid product for my needs.

Cheers.

Mr Whippy

I'd like to see the standard version improved a bit more with some useful features.

Generally it's really great software for the money, and it's by far the best I've found.

But sometimes when you're struggling to get a reconstruction to work, or want to realign/scale your point cloud it's frustrating to have to spend a lot of time doing manual tasks or using other software to do it.


I'm sure we could have 'lite' versions of some features that don't make the standard version too powerful for high end professional use, but do make life easier for standard users.



Ie, just being able to say camera X is orientated flat (bubble level) and pointing in X+ direction (roughly North) for example, so your point cloud is rotated correctly, would save me a LOT of time, but it wouldn't undermine the much more robust geo-referencing alignment and scaling tools in the professional version.
