Hi Larry,
Thanks for sharing your issues and workaround that you have experienced with our software.
I would like to mention that sometimes the generation of an orthoplan is not so straight forward to reconstruct especially as the mosaic editor is not available for this output.
Some users tricked the software in order to have their orthoplan horizontal so the software considers it as a map and then they were able to use the mosaic editor.
I would like to add that for orthoplan, our algorithm is not optimal and has some difficulties to reconstruct orthoplan if you are using both orthogonal and oblique images.
Therefore in order to get a proper orthofacade, I recommend you to process step 1 and 2 and then select only the cameras that are facing your orthofacade and disabled the other ones in the images properties window. As shown below:
Once you have enabled only cameras that are facing the orthoplan, you can generate it.
Hope this will help to improve your results.
Best
