Viewing Reconstruction Tiles

To view the reconstruction tiles:

Note:    This information is also available in the Reconstruction Tiles list. See "Selecting Tiles" and "Viewing Tile Information in the Tile List" in this chapter for information.

1.     In the Project Tree, select the Reconstruction Tiles check box. The reconstruction tiles are displayed in the 3D Window, colorized according to the last build processing step completed for the tile.

§  Yellow tile – Aerotriangulation is complete.

§  Pink tile – All steps through point cloud creation are complete.

§  Dark Blue tile – All steps through model creation are complete,

§  Light Blue tile – All steps through model texturing are complete.

§  Green tile – All steps through project output are complete.

§  Orange border – An error occurred in the processing step that follows the last successfully completed step and a retry mechanism will be applied soon (e.g., if a dark blue colored tile has an orange border, this indicates that the 3D model creation step completed successfully but that model texturing failed and will be retried).

§  Red border – Tile failed.

§  Dark Red border – Insufficient photo coverage for reconstruction.

Note:    In the Reconstruction Tiles legend, the colored squares (e.g. ) indicate colored tiles, while the colored lines (e.g. ) indicate a colored border.

Note:    The display of the tile bases of tiles created as adaptive 3D boxes can be toggled off in the Reconstruction Tiles list. See "Setting a Reconstruction Tile’s Display Style" in this chapter for information.

Reconstruction Tiles

2.     If you hover anywhere on the tile, the tile's name and number of photos in the tile are displayed at the top left corner of the 3D Window.

3.     In the 3D Window, click the tile you want to preview, or select the tile in the Reconstruction Tiles list. The Tile tab is displayed from which you can navigate to the tile, display its original and calculated camera positions and reconstruction tile results, view production reports, and export and import the tile’s model. See "Navigating to a Tile", "Displaying Original Camera Positions for Tiles", "Displaying Calculated Camera Positions for Tiles", "Displaying Reconstruction Tile Results", and "Viewing a Production Report" in this chapter and the "Importing and Exporting Models" chapter for information.
