Import photo positions
The Import photo positions dialog allows you to import photo positions and rotations from a text file.
Use this option to set image positions and/or rotations from third-party data.
Various kinds of text files are supported. The common condition for all formats is that each photo must be represented by a single line.
The imported data must include at least the photo references, and the 3 coordinates for the photo positions. Rotations are optional.
