Displaying Camera Symbols

Each photo’s camera position and orientation (if known) can be displayed on the terrain using camera symbols. The symbol’s color also indicates either the photo’s collection or its status (in original position, in calculated position, failed to calculate, or excluded by user). You can show all photos or you can filter which photos are displayed:

§  Display only the photos individually selected in the Photos list or the collections selected in the Collections list.

§  Display only photos that cover a selected point on the terrain.

§  Display only photos that were not excluded from the project.

To select specific photos for viewing on the terrain, do either of the following:

§  In the Project Tree, select the Photos group, and then in the Photos list, select the Visible check box of the required photos.

§  In the Project Tree, select the Photos group, and then in the Collections list, select the Visible check box of the required collections. All of the selected collections' photos will be displayed.

To select photos for viewing that cover a selected point on the terrain, do the following:
