Creating a New Build Version with a Copy of the Current Aerotriangulation Results

When no AT parameters were changed from a previous build, you can create a new build version with different build parameters (e.g. reconstruction tile size) but with a copy of the AT information from the current build, thereby significantly accelerating the build process.

Note:    If you want to create a completely new build version without copying the AT information from the current build, see "Creating a New Build Version" in this chapter.

To create a new build version with a copy of the AT:

1.     On the Home tab, in the Build Versions group, click the arrow next to New Version, and select New Build Version – Copy AT. The Build Parameters dialog is displayed.

2.     Select the Build Steps to perform. See "Setting Build Steps, Parameters, and Outputs" in this chapter for information.

Note:        In the Custom option, the Start From field is automatically set to Auto to automatically select the steps that were not yet completed, and is read-only.

3.     Select the Collection Type and other parameters, and click Build. See "Setting Build Steps, Parameters, and Outputs" in this chapter for information.

Note:        Some of the parameters will only apply if tiles need to be recreated.

Note:        Output fields are not available when rebuilding error tiles.

The New build description dialog is displayed.

4.     Type a new build description, and click OK. PhotoMesh Build Manager then opens. Select the required fusers, and then click Build. See "Using Fusers" in the "Fusers" chapter for more information.
