• GCS missing in 3SM produced in ContextCapture 20 and uploaded to PW ContextShare

    Hi, as in the subject, we cannot attach 3SM from PW ContextShare to a dgn in OpenRoads Designer (2021R2) as ORD shows error: "This Reality Mesh needs to be reprojected but no GCS is set" and gets listed in red in Reality Mesh Attachments dialog. The mesh…
  • How to produce a mesh without unwanted particles (.3sm)?

    Hi, Why do my combined scans with photogrammetry have many unwanted particles? Note that I have it's particles only during a combined. Is there a way to prevent them? I would like the texture of the photogrammetry to take precedence over the scan…
  • Annotating or Markup 3sm model

    I have a 3d mesh model of a large area, and I was wondering if there are any tools or 3rd party software that can be used to drop pins or markup the 3d mesh model created from Contextcapture. As of now, contextcapture viewer does not have such a capability…
  • 3SM with raster imagery (aerial images) to iModel

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is a way to upload 3SM to iModel? Every time we try to upload this data to iModel, the data does not appear at all. Uploading the data to ContextShare doesn't work either. Thank you, Best David
