Nice, didn’t realize RC supported exporting scale/coordinate system over XMP metadata. I’ll have to hunt for where to “press”. I may have found another work around in the meanwhile. Once this clicked about the problem resting in this dramatic transition, with no great way to counteract that with stronger capture, I thought to disable all photos across this divide, RC had no problem reconstructing mesh D, let’s call it, since A-C were in place. In the same component I can then reconstruct everything falling on the other side of the divide with a neighboring reconstruction region, now disabling all the photos falling on the A-D side of the window and enabling the previously disabled images. I might need to do a little trimming, and the seam may not be perfect, but I’m confident this approach is optimal, and surely delivers an identical end result as what I’d expect comes from the XMP workflow, yes?
