Hello, I am hoping to get some guidance regarding the general coordinate system setup in Drone2Map. I am setting up a 3D project that includes GCPs collected through our trimble GPS. For the project coordinate system I am planning to use NAD 1983 State Plane Illinois East (US Feet) (3435) and the vertical NAVD88 height (US…
I'm new to Drone2Map (but experienced with Pro), using version 2026.1.0. I've been given access to some existing data I can use for testing, comprising approx 800 images and 5 GCPs, covering a 600 m by 250m area: I completed the tutorial for 2D products and am now applying the same workflow to my data, creating a DSM and…
The Drone2Map team is now testing the introduction of AI capabilities through an ArcGIS Drone2Map assistant. This assistant provides new options for getting technical help and performing certain processing tasks. Whether you're a new user learning photogrammetry concepts, or an experienced drone image processing expert…
Hi everyone, I'm looking for some guidance regarding Drone2Map's 3D mesh reconstruction workflow when combining an automated mapping mission with supplemental manual shots. For context, our organization officially uses Drone2Map 2026.1.0 and SiteScan. For this particular project, I felt the 3D mesh output could still be…

As with every release, this version includes a lot of improvements in performance and usability as well as some new features. This blog will just mention a few highlights and then direct you to further detail. With 2026.1, we've added some new output options - direct support for cloud formats (COG, MRF, CRF), and as an…
It would be good if the processing templates could also include coordinate systems. Potentially a checkbox to adopt template coordinate systems for imagery and project. I'm finding that setting the coordinate system is an additional step that could be streamlined.
I've just finished processing a site in Drone2Map and I noticed that the 3D mesh output has produced some issues and was wondering what the best approach is to correct this? During processing I'd already created a course waterbody mask with the following output: If I create a Correction Feature, like in the following, will…
Specifically for Drone2Map it came to mind but really for any Esri product that has long processing times, it would be great to have an option to get an email when processing is complete. I regularly start something processing and then leave to do other things since my desktop will be a slideshow while it is chugging. Be…
I'm running Drone2Map on a new machine (HP Z8 Fury Tower G5) with 64 cores (no CUDA) and running into issues with parallel processing. I'm trying to generate True Orthos for a set of 1,751 images, and the AddRastersToMosaicDataset tool is consistently throwing ERROR 160281: A requested row object could not be located. The…
