Black pane with red dots at start of Initial Processing, when a State Plane coordinate system is selected

Thanks Holden. I do appreciate the time that you took to offer your suggestions and the reference to QGIS information.

Please see my ‘pending approval’ post for details about my attempted workflows:

There are more subjects included in the above post-link than in my original post, Oct.4 on this page. 

If…  it is currently not possible to produce the results that I would like to have within Pix4D , it would be great to have that confirmed. The current Pix4D user interface design implies that my objectives can be met within Pix4D, rather than through import to other GIS software.

I have submitted a support request, referencing the above pending post, and providing the requested Project files.
