So, I'm trying for the first time this software and seeing a weird issue. I don't know if it's a bug or I'm just doing something wrong. This is how I see the point cloud:

zooming or rotating the view, however (even a milimeter, the minimal amount of movement you can do with your mouse) results in this:

To see the points again I have to blindly rotate and zoom until something appears in view, but again at the most minimal movent it will disappear.

Also, I can't see the planes representing camera position as I see them in tutorials. there are no camera indicators to be seen in the scene.

I've tried with 5-6 photo sets that I took following general instructions so I would assume I could get at least a basic point cloud, no matter how innacurate.

What is happening? Am I doing something wrong here?

Seems a bit like these two:

Looks similar to the following problem:

The loaded images have GPS coordinates in the EXIF that are loaded automatically, but since all the coordinates are the same, the referencing and scaling of the model cannot be performed properly.

The problem with the Pro edition could be caused by automatic GPS EXIF import. Since the coordinates may be not accurate or actually identical for all the cameras, the model could not be referenced and displayed.

If it is the source of the problem, please open Ground Control pane, select all the camera instances, and press DEL (or choose Clear from the context menu), then switch the coordinate system in the Ground Control settings dialog from WGS84 to Local Coordinates and then click reset view in the Model view.
