RC does not use filtered model for reconstruction

Hello!

I have a compenent which is quite huge.

To test the reconstruction of a certain area of it, I proceed as follows:

  1. Reconstruction->click “Preview” 

  2. Use lasso tool to select the area of interest, Click “Invert”, click “Filter selection”.

  3. It creates a small compoent with 11 k tris. I select it.

  4. I press “Reconstruction->Preview”. 

  5. It creates a preview of the big component again, not a preview of the 11 k tris. Even though the small component was selected…

 

Even if I delete the big compent, it still reconstructs the big component when I click “Preview”.

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thank you!

Hi Patrick,

with Reconstruction/Preview you are still creating new model. There are three options for model creation: Preview, Normal and High. The parameters of these are in Reconstruction settings.

When you filtered your created model, then it is also a model, with press Preview, you are creating new model. 

What is your aim here?

I have combined 2 photo sessions (for example photo session from Monday and photo session from Friday) into 1 project. 

Why? After reconstruction the photo session of Monday, I see that I have missed some areas. 

So I drive back and take new photos. Of course, things change a bit. 

I put session 1 and session 2 into a single project and want to see if it still works or if I need to remove certain photos because things in some areas have changed (for example a stone is in a different position now or something like that).

The preview reconstruction of the combined sessions looks quite alright, but I want to inspect some areas in normal reconstruction mode so that I can see it in perfect detail.

Because my project is so huge, I filter only the small area that I want to inspect in normal mode. 

So I select the small filtered component of 11 k tris and click “Normal”. It takes many days, so I think something is not right.

So I select the small filtered component of 11 k tris and click “Preview”.

It does not reconstruct a preview of the 11 k tris model, but instead if reconstructs a preview of the huge 4 mio tris mesh.

So I think RC does not allow me to reconstruct the small filtered mesh.

Am I correct?

 

The reconstruction space depends on the reconstruction region. If it is not changed and it is the same as in first reconstruction, then a whole captured area will be computed. To recreate just this filtered part, you need to also change the reconstruction region just to this small part.

Thank you, that helped!
