Hi there,

How do I deactivate unused photos from PPI calculations? I've got 700 pictures in reality capture. RC used 250 of them to create a model. When I try to export, license wants me to pay for all of the inputs even the ones I don't use.How to mass select and deactive them?

It makes no sense to pay for something I will not use in any way.

 

Cheers

  So basically I cannot do it and I have to do it by hand picking right pictures from the explorer? Are you kidding me?

  I want to deactivate pictures IN the software from licensing. I don't want to spend money on something RC did not use for calculations.

  You don't need to picking the images in explorer.

  You can export aligned images as Registration or Image list, open new project and import this Registration or Image list to new project.

  With PPI you are licensing inputs, not outputs.

  This is much more complicated than it could be. Why I can't just select a component images and license only them?

  Can't bring the component on another machine to re run the model and textures. This is very user friendly guys, I am loving it!

  You made everything so complicated with those new licenses it's just ridiculous. Just rent me a software for a month like before and that's it.

  All my problems right now are around licensing issues.

  About this: This is much more complicated than it could be. Why I can't just select a component images and license only them?

  One of the reasons for this process are the security reasons. Also, in the past happened, that people were changing the inputs after licensing and then there were problems with the application and it messed up the data integrity of it.

  About your second problem, are you signed into RealityCapture on your second PC, or is it working anonymously?
  Do you have internet connection on both of those PCs?
  Is RealityCapture working on PC1 while opening that project on PC2? If yes, is it working with the same account?

  Then please bring back monthly renting. I am loosing my time fighting with your license. This is not how things should work. I just want bring my photos, export models that's it.

  Second workstation is logged with the same RC account. Both have internet connection.Yes RC on workstation1 is working and calculating models again because of the amazing way you did the licensing.

  Cheers

  I will add your request to our feature request database, if this request will have higher demand, it could be implemented back. Also, there is ENT license, which is cheaper as it was before and perpetual.

  About second problem, it is possible to open projects with same account on both PCs, but not at the same time. Meaning, if you are logged with your account (PPI) on PC1, you won't be able to use it on PC2. To be able to open project on PC2, you first have to close RealityCapture on PC1.
