Cant enter GCPs
« on: October 02, 2023, 01:51:08 PM »
Hi guys

this is doing my head in, I want to bring my GCPs in, when I select the CSV file nothing happens, it doesn't open up the Reference panel.  I then thought I'll add a Control Point marker and manually enter the co-ordinate, but it seems it's greyed out, I can't select the fields to be able to enter the data.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  It was a RTK mission, my base was a Emlid RS2+, and yes I'm green with GNSS stuff.  Stay awesome

change the ref pane view mode to "source" values

Thanks Jose,

that at least got the reference panel up.  I think I need to edit the format of the txt file to make it work.  Does anybody have a link to the correct formatting? 
Thanks for your patience in advance.

the superb flexible text file parser bult-in will accept any format, just let Metashape know what is on every column, which sepparator and where to start reading... no need por an specific format at all.
