Hello,&nbsp;

I would do the following:&nbsp;

- create surfaces on the facades and align the orthoplane to these (click Align in the right sidebar)
- reduce the width of the orthoplane, make it as thin as possible around the facade of interest

There is more about how to use the Orthoplane tool in these resources:&nbsp;

How is your image acquisition plan? Do you have more than one line of images that see the facades?&nbsp;

Please post updates if you could test the points above. If these did not work, let us know and I’ll have a look at the dataset. In the latter case, please send your dataset with a file sharing service through our support request form (at the top of the support site).&nbsp;

Thanks!
