You couldn't find it in the help either... Drone2Map Help It must be contained elsewhere

Projects can be created using either JPEG or TIFF images. The products output by Drone2Map can be seen in the Processing Options dialog.

2D Products created:

Orthomosaic, DSM, DSM Hillshade, NDVI in TIFF Format
Image Points and Flight Lines as feature classes

3D Products created:

A Textured Mesh (Scene Layer Package, OBJ, FBX, DXF, PLY, 3D PDF)
Point Cloud (LAS, PLY, XYZ)

We will be adding this to the Drone2Map documentation.

James, how do we bring a scene package into ArcGIS Desktop, Pro, or ArcScene?

Following up on Frank's query - so is it correct to say that a Drone2Map export (e.g. scene package or image) cannot be used through ArcGIS Desktop, i.e. ArcMap or ArcScene, but only through the newer generation of the software (e.g. ArcGIS Pro) via ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS?

It seems strange that you can export an image from Pix4D into a Desktop-compatible geotiff, but not from Esri's own app that's built on the same foundation.
