Hello,

I am having trouble with merging 3 large projects, but it is failing due to the output coordinate system not matching. I will attach the quality control reports once I post this topic.

Some info:  
All three projects taken with DJI P4 RTK  
No GCP, only MTP  
All three processed with same output coordinate system [NAD\_1983\_StatePlane\_Texas\_South\_Central\_FIPS\_4204\_Feet (deprecated)]  
All three seem to have the same geoid height above ellipsoid: 0.00  
All three projects have Step 1 complete, MTP’s created with same names, and reoptimized.

Any suggestions?

Okay, so quality reports have not been generated. I will generate and post when I get them.

Here is a screenshot of the output coordinate system, as far as I can tell it is the same for all 3 projects.

Does anyone have a suggestion for this?

Hi @leonard  
Thank you for all the information.

It seems that the Olivares 70L project is in another coordinate system:

Please change the coordinate system and try again.
