Thanks a lot. Great guide. Perfect work.

The video covered a lot of interesting aspects of Reality Capture, and I was particularly intrigued by the orthomosaic editing showcased after the ninth minute. However, I did notice that the video did not explicitly mention 3D annotation tools, such as circles and polygons. After careful review, I believe that the tool demonstrated in the video is primarily for creating custom shapes,. If you have any further information on 3D and 2d annotation tools in RC, I would greatly appreciate it.

For annotation you can use Map view report from Part 4 Drone Mapping Guide

Hey! Great tutorial, very useful! I was wandering when doing depth contours the counting starts at max altitude (contour 0) and as the model height drops the numbering rises (contour 96). Is there a way to change it so it starts the counting at the lowest point and as the model height rises so dose the numbering of the contours?

[@CapturingReality]

In that case you can use Altitude pixel type, which will use the original model heights.

Hello. I would like to see digitation tools in RC using stereoscopic views with advanced stereo screen support and simply red and blue stereo support. These tools should work both in point cloud or mesh model but also digitizing in stereo pairs will be extremely useful.

Hi, I added this to our feature request database.
