Hello I want to use Catch to map an internal high security area where I have clearance but cannot share any information via the cloud. Is it possible to directly link Catch to Mapper without using the cloud? i.e. download the images from iPad ? when I try to access the iPad I cannot view the catch images. regards Andy

Daniele I am using an iPad with the laser, if I save images locally from iPad to transfer to PC based standalone mapper I wont be able to use the depth as it is this part the LiDar adds right?

This is true; you won’t be able to use the depth (LiDAR) data with PIX4Dmapper.

However, you could give a try to PIX4Dmatic:

> PIX4Dmatic 1.19 is the first to fuse LiDAR and photogrammetry point clouds to get the best of both worlds - with more new features too!

Let me know if you need any further support.

Cheers
