Hi,

I have a layer template from Pix4DSurvey that gets used for every project. I’ve exported the template and imported into the new Matic, but no layers are showing up in the Content pane. I can open the template JSON file and see the layers in it, but nothing shows in Matic.

For anyone else having this issue, you have to open the template manager and select “Apply”, the template does not apply automatically like it used to in Survey.

HI Charles,

Thanks for the follow-up post. It is good to know that the behavior is slightly different in Matic than in Survey.
