If this option is possible in Pix4Dcloud, why is it not possible in Deskop? If someone doesn’t have access, then the clouds must use free tools like QGIS.

Hello, at this moment, there’s no plan to have elevation profiles in Pix4Dmapper.  
QGIS, Global Mapper and other tools can be used for this function.

I know and I’m using 🙂  
I’m just wondering why this option is available in the cloud version, and no longer in the deskop.  
Mainly I mean the tender specifications. Thanks to the lack of this key option, it is very easy to eliminate Pix4D from the tender.

We understand your need! Thanks for reporting it 🙂  
Unfortunately, there is no plan for implementing this in Pix4Dmpper any time soon.
