How to set Up-axis on Y and how center cropped dense cloud
« on: October 28, 2017, 11:49:05 AM »
Hello everybody,
Agisoft is always taking Z as the Up Axis.
For this makes no sense because all 3D applications work natively with Y as Up axis.

a)
I have already set XY as Plane in the Preferences, but it doesn't change anything: always is Z the Up-Axis.

b)
The second question is, how can I center my cropped image (dense cloud) at the origin?
I was searching for an automatic function, too.

c)
When I have oriented my pictures manually, then still the Gizmo is often diagonally in the space.
How can I orient the Gizmo (Pivot) automatically to my manually adjusted camera view?
Maybe it is only manually possible, just wanted to know if there is a function which would make it easier.

Thanks for help!

.......

With respect Alexx, the 3D applications you use may have Y up, but very many surveying, engineering and other applications, and co-ordinate systems, have Z up.

Thanks for reply, I think it would be easy to let the user define, which axis he wants to be up:

There is already in the preferences the choice of defining the ground PLANE (XY, XZ, ZY).
It only does not work, maybe somebody else know how it works...??

Thanks again!

Hello Alexx,

The settings that you are speaking about are related to the grid plane that can be displayed in the model view. It has no effect on the model - just additional Model View element for better convenience.
