Hi,
I can’t figure out how to export georeferenced pointcloud.
I have aligned all photos, imported ground controll and constructed high density model.
Now, when I export it to xyz file and import it to AutoCAD I can see that it is not properly oriented and scaled.
Does anyone have a clue what do I do wrong?
Cheers
Hi maciej.banaszkiewicz
in WORKLOW->SETTINGS-COORDINATE SYSTEM->PROJECT COORDINATE SYSTEM and OUTPUT COORDINATE SYSTEM are set properly ( OUTPUT cor system can be changed as you need ) Project Coordinate system must be set before ALIGNMENT.
In Export settings check if you have set to GRID PLANE or OUTPUT (output coordinate system ) .
Project coordinate system and output coordinate system is set to local:1 - Euclidean, is that correct?
So the correct workflow should be:
import images> import ground control> add control points on images> align images> calculate the model> export
Am I right?
Hi maciej.banaszkiewicz
If its a local:1 - Euclidean then its not truly georeferenced, its use local coordinates and that mean no georeference with real world.
You need to set proper COORDINATE SYSTEM first.
1a. go to WORKFLOW->SETTINGS->COORDINATE SYSTEM-> PROJECT COORDINATE SYSTEM and set desired coordinate system from the list.
1b. Set the OUTPUT COORDINATE SYSTEM - in CS you need to export the results later after processing
Import images - are they containing GPS informations ?
Import GroundControlPoints ( GCP )
Add GCP on images
ALIGN the data
reconstruct model
calculate TEXTUREs
calculate ORTHOS or etc.
Export results and set PROJECT OUTPUT in export dialogue ( aka step 1b. )
I think you should add these workflows to the help available in the application.
Different workflows for the various tasks…
I think that would help a lot of people to figure out what they need to do next.

Ok, but which one should I select if my GC is in a local coordinate system (no WGS or GPS coordinates) measured with total station?
Images don’t have any GPS data.
I also noticed that control points show very big errors (see the screenshot).

Then you can use local:1 - Euclidean
I also noticed that control points show very big errors (see the screenshot).
That can be because of bad axis orientation or wrong GCP coordinate import settings ( set when importing )
If interested, contact me on my email for remote asistance
Has the issue been resolved?

Yes, I did it finaly… 
Well that’s good to know!
Thanks for the brilliant summary!
