Can you clean up or edit 3D mesh from Drone2Map

JonathanDandois — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 13:29:42 GMT

I like Drone2Map for it's integration into the rest of our Esri ecosystem, but it often produces more artifacts in 3D models than other products when working with the same dataset.

Are there ways to edit the mesh - for example removing these artifacts - while still being able to publish it as a service? I imagine it might need to take a workflow like: Create Mesh in Drone2Map as OBJ -> Edit in other program like Meshlab -> import OBJ and convert to SLPK -> publish?

Hi! Did you find any Solution to this? Would be helpful in other cases as well. For example when there is some object on the building that is not that important, like a spiral staircase against a wall of a building, that just gets chunky and bad. Then I'd like to just flatten it against the wall of the building. And permanently, not just in my project.

Unfortunately, I have not. I have tried using the Masking tools for the Integrated Mesh, but these seem more "planar" in nature and not for masking these kind of vertical or jangly things. At least, not as i was able to use them.
