Exporting

[Xila]

Is there some way to export a DXF with all the markers included?

[stihl]

The markers are just a visual representation in Photoscan, not an object on in the point cloud or mesh.

What you could do is export the point cloud DEM as a DXF and then export the marker positions and both import them in a CAD application and then change the appearance of the marker (GCP) to a flag or something.

Hey stihl, thanks for the answer. Which CAD application do you use for this? I can t import xml marker filesin autucad for example. Thanks

Hi,

I've moved the thread to the feature requests forum, since at the moment it is not possible to export markers in DXF format.

As a workaround I think that it is possible to create the point shapes in the estimated marker positions and export them to DXF, for example.

Code: [Select]

import PhotoScan

chunk = PhotoScan.app.document.chunk

if not chunk.shapes:
chunk.shapes = PhotoScan.Shapes()
chunk.shapes.crs = chunk.crs

for marker in chunk.markers:
chunk.shapes.addShape()
  shape = chunk.shapes[-1]
  shape.type = PhotoScan.Shape.Type.Point
  shape.has_z = True
  shape.vertices = [chunk.crs.project(chunk.transform.matrix.mulp(marker.position))]

PhotoScan.app.update()

Thanks a lot Alexey for the response. My other scripts run already with my photoscan pro version but with this one I just get "can't run script" .. do I have to customize it before use?

Hello Merzel,

Which version of PhotoScan Pro you are using and what's the output in the Console pane?

[Merzel]

I m using version 1.2.6 (64bit) and in the console pane I get the following:

2016-10-18 19:25:19     Traceback (most recent call last):
2016-10-18 19:25:19     File "C:/Users/../Downloads/markertopoints.py", line 14, in <module>
2016-10-18 19:25:19     shape.vertices = [chunk.crs.project(chunk.transform.matrix.mulp(marker.position))]
2016-10-18 19:25:19    TypeError: must be PhotoScan.Vector, not None

I don't really understand the error.
thanks for your help Alexey

Ok, it seems that some markers are not defined in space (have less than two projections), then adding a check:

Code: [Select]

import PhotoScan

chunk = PhotoScan.app.document.chunk

if not chunk.shapes:
chunk.shapes = PhotoScan.Shapes()
chunk.shapes.crs = chunk.crs

for marker in chunk.markers:
if not marker.position:
print("skipping marker " + marker.label)
continue
chunk.shapes.addShape()
  shape = chunk.shapes[-1]
  shape.type = PhotoScan.Shape.Type.Point
  shape.has_z = True
  shape.vertices = [chunk.crs.project(chunk.transform.matrix.mulp(marker.position))]

PhotoScan.app.update()

wow Alexey this is incredible!!! I send you the biggest greetz from Berlin, this is absolutly awesome
