A little list of wishes

Hello everyone,

first of all, i wanna congratulate for the software, everytime i look at the result it seems like a magic to me.
The most of times, i use your software in my free time for hobby, and a couple of times i have use it in my work time (and it has been very useful).
I have seen that you have made a sort of poll (it is the right word?) to evaluate your to do list.
I wish to give you a list of my preferences (i work in architecture field).
I apologize if i mention some features already present, that i don’t have seen in the software, and others that i have already requested in the forum in the course of the year.

  • point cloud lasso editing
  • .e57 - .las/laz exporting
  • volume calculation
  • area calculation
  • mesh components merging
  • model orientation picking points(to set x,y) on a surface and the on a corner or a wall(to set z axis)
  • reconstruction region orientation picking three(or two?)points on a surface
  • define ground plane with a toolset box (where i can put rotation, and xyz values)
  • define the axis center of the model, by the center of gravity or by hand
  • manual reconstruction of flat surfaces that Reality Capture can’t calculate (caused by flat or reflected surfaces(texture): flat
    panels, walls, glasses, etc.)
  • texturing by region (a selection of polygons) and export the whole textured model with the various selected parts
  • mesh shaded and mesh textured in viewport
  • deleting useless photos
  • group photos by component
  • browsing photos by name/number
  • multi selection in 1D and 2D views (photos, components, etc.)
  • scale the model after meshing (i.e. by clicking on two points and set the real measured distance)
  • comma separation in numbers (i.e. 1’000’000 and not 1000000)
  • please give us the possibility to install a viewer without registration and so on (the easiest way for our clients or collegues to
    view models).
    Not all people agree to make a site registration, every time that they need to install a simple viewer tool.

Thank you for your job and this great software,

Wilfried

+1, this is a great idea!
or some form of self contained viewer, that exports a simple .exe that contains the project to be viewed. Having it be as simple as possible for clients is key.

Hello Wilfried,
thank you for your feedback.

Higlighted green is already possible.
I am not sure what you mean by these.

As for the volume calculation: How can I calculate volume?

the lasso tool is available since: https://support.capturingreality.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001192551-Version-1-0-3-3939-RC-Release

thousands are now separated by spaces: https://support.capturingreality.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019940851-Version-1-0-3-6310-RC-Release

For me it will be add GoZ for zbrush :stuck_out_tongue: and use instantmesh retopology algorythm and more option in 1D’s view … tree organisation could be augmented by subfolders creation to classify more easily pictures.

hi, separate topic for GoZ requests: https://support.capturingreality.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360037374012-Zbrush-GoZ-file-format-support

what do you mean under “instantmesh retopology algorythm”?

which other options specifically would you like to see in the 1Ds?
