Hello,   Just curious if you get all the same processing features with the Pix4D BIM version when compared to the default Pix4D Mapper desktop version?  I like the sharing options that come with the BIM platform, but am worried if I go that route, I will miss out on all the front end processing capabilities included with Mapper.     Thanks. ---

Hi Michael,    Thank you very much for the question. Pix4D Mapper desktop version and Pix4D BIM version are exactly the same regarding the front end processing options. Although Pix4D BIM offers more functions to the user at the cloud such us the Cad Overlay feature and the timeline dashboard.   Regards ---
