ABOUT THE SIZE OF OBJ MODELS USED FOR EDITING IN 3DSMAX

Hi Nguyen,

can you specify what do you mean by "your software"? There are plenty of products (hundreds literally) developed and offered by Bentley and they provide different set of tools. So without knowing exactly what product and version do you use to export OBJ format it's not possible to say if and how the model can be simplified.

With regards,

Jan

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your reply, I forgot to mention about the software. Now we are using Bentley ContextCapture Master and aerial data from UAV to create 3D models ( for our navy simulator project ). As I said, OBJ. files production have too much polys (faces) and our problem is decreasing the number of polys(faces) as much as possible for editing in 3DsMax.

Here's our latest model, it's quite amazing but it's too hard for our Simulator software if we want to expand the captured area.

Any suggestion will be appriciated. 

Hi Nguyen
You will not be won’t be able to manually set the number of polygons output triangle but you may be able to adjust some settings to get a lighter model.
Producing in Medium geometric precision will be a first step ( See Processing Setting under Reconstruction)
You can also produce the OBJ with LOD and load a less detailed Level OBJ in 3DSMax

Hi Felix,
Thanks for your reply, I will try to make some lighter models.
However, If have models of several city's areas (3MX. file, opened by Acute3Dviewer); Can I merge those files into only one file for more convenient viewing ?
By the way, We want to know the using price of each edition of Bentley ContextCapture .

Yes this is possible. Please see the link below:
communities.bentley.com/.../24605.merging-3mx-files

Note: For this procedure to run correctly your must also make sure to produce each part of the “global model” in the same SRS.

Please send me your contact details and I will get someone to contact your regarding pricing.

Hi Felix,
I could follow these steps but had some troubles with the Notepad++'s parts. Could you give me a screenshot of the last resulf of Merged_production.3mx (opened in Notepad++) ?

Thank you.

Hi Nguyen,

Here a screenshot as requested:

Hi Felix,

In our Navy simulator project, we have to simulate the large riverside area last over 2 districts. Because of the large amout of images so I had to create 2 models of each district ( 2 seperate files that have different default SRS coordinates origin) . Because Merging process requested 2 parts must have the same SRS." , so I adjust "SRSOrigin" of both descriptions to the same number (in notepad++), and at .3mx file, these two overlap each other. (image no.3)

So Is it possible to merge 2 files with different SRSorigin ? Or Are there any things else that I have to config in production submiting time ?

Hi Nguyen Vu
I am browsing history of your question.Now I have the same problem in merging several 3MX models.My models were done in different reconstruction tasks.,in other words,they were done under different aerotriangulations.So they have different SRSorigins.Can the several models be merged?
