Pix4D Matic Standard is generating a mesh, I think, without the mesh option selected. This is latest version, downloaded today. The previous version did the same thing.

Any feedback would be welcome.

Latest version will display the DSM and Orthomosaic in 3d mode. Turn those off and see what happens.

Hi @surveyteam

Starting with version 2.8.0, the DSM and orthomosaic can be viewed in 2D or 3D, so if you do not generate the mesh, it is probably the orthomosaic.

You can hide the DSM/ Orthomosaic in 3D to avoid this _mesh_ effect.
