Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a good solution for fixing/filling holes in the reconstruction of parabolic antennas (on communication towers)? I know the holes are a direct result of the antennas being solid white and therefore the surface of the antenna has little to no tie points. I've tried going in and adding manual tie points but this has very limited results. Is this just something that can't be avoided or is there a solution somewhere?
We had similar issues with this dish- http://realitymodels.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/rm/RT-32_pec_remonta_3mx/App/index.html
It was fixed by merging separate made model of dish surface and structure. In your case seems only option is to do retouching. The holes happen because there are no tie points and also in cases the surface is thin(as in our case) so background surfaces "shines trough" and dish surface is not reconstructed.

Thank you for the reply Oto. Great looking model by the way!
Do you know if Bentley offers any post-processing tools for retouching the dish?
One other unrelated question: It looks like you were able to set your spacial framework to use a shape other than a square? Is that true and if so how did you do this? I have several models that don't fit into a square so I end up rendering a much larger area than needed to fit everything in. Would love to constrain the framework to just my desired area.
Again thank you for your time and feedback.
You can add shape from KML or DGN in Spatial Framework. But what we do is clip the retouch model so it is other shape than square.
