Scale and define distance

Hello When I use "Define distance" with two control points in "Selected constraints" I don't have a "Calculated distance" but a suggestion instead: Obtain PPI licenses to unlock .. but my PPI account is activated with 900 credits?
Thank you
Thierry

    Hello Thierry,
    these two things should have nothing in common I believe. Are you having issues to set up the distance? You should put the distance number in the constraint and hit update button above in the panel afterwards. 

    What is it with the credits again? Could you clarify?

    Hello Here is a screenshot link with the proposal to obtain PPI licenses to unlock Calculated distance !!

    Yes I find it difficult to define the distance. Maybe because of the lack of photo precision of the Iphone and DJI Spark drone ??With the Spark the GPS location on the map is offset by 15 or 20 m
    With DJI Mavic Air drone it's better. Good position on the map. I can see a calculated distance but if I change the defined distance then update..the display doesn't change !  and impossible to measure elsewhere in 3D a distance
    I followed the tutorial "How to creaye your first model" well but I'm still messing up

    Ou le logiciel n'est pas fait pour des français  :-)

    Well yes correct, pardon me. The limitation before licensing the inputs is there normally for constraints. 
    Regarding your workflow, I have to tell you it is not something I would recommend in order to get a greater accuracy as the GPS will be taken more seriously against the single constraint. Adding more of them could help a little, but GCPs would help a ton here. To increase the weight of the constraint for adjusting the accuracy, decrease the highlighted value on the picture. This will decrease the weight of the GPS and let constraint have a higher control.

    Hello and thank you
    Learned some interesting things. Is there a table summarizing the parameters of the 1Ds window? Because a lot of things are going on there and it is not all clear.
    In any case RealityCapture works pretty well ...

    In our application help, you can find many descriptions to the tools and parameters, I recommend you to check it out.
    You can use the viewport selection dropdown to access the help or just press F1.
