Touchup with a 3rd party software

Fix the current reference 3D model with retouches created with 3rd party software.

To perform retouches, you must:

  1. Produce tiles for retouching.
  2. Apply tile corrections with some third-party software (Refer to Retouching).
  3. Import retouched tiles.

Import retouched tiles dialog

To import retouched tiles, click on Add retouched tiles directory in the selected retouch level section, and click on Import retouched tiles to proceed.

The following options are also proposed:
  • Spatial reference system: for georeferenced projects you can choose to import retouched tiles produced in a custom spatial reference system.

    When importing retouched tiles, this option is automatically set if a metadata file is detected.

    Click on Edit Spatial reference system to select the appropriate reference system for your retouched dataset.

  • Tag policy for modified tiles: a tag policy can be set to change tags of modified tiles.

For retouched tiles to be successfully imported, their tile directory and filename must respect the ContextCapture naming convention and must be the same as the ones of the production used for retouching.

Example of valid retouched tile path:

/Tile_xxx_yyy/ Tile_xxx_yyy.obj
