We’ve recently upgraded our internet to something that can manage uploads of projects from the office (remote area, finally able to access Starlink) and I was experimenting with Pix4D Connector to get the data on the cloud. I would like to upload the Pix4D Mapper processed outputs as I need to manage geoid heights and use custom processing instructions, however if I try to upload the project without uploading Images it does two things.
- Posts a warning that "Virtual Inspector is not available without input images.
- Says “Creating in progress” and then fails to create or upload anything.
If I select images it will upload, but it appears to also begin using the images to re-process the data and it is unclear to me if it subsequently generates new inputs rather than uses the point cloud, 3d mesh and dsm that I have uploaded.
I do not need the images stored on the cloud, nor is the ratio of photos to datasets equivalent that I can afford to put all of them on there (240 data sets versus 30,000 images yields only 125 per project when I’m dealing with 400-1000). I do not want to have to upload images to access my point clouds but it seems I cannot use connector currently unless I also upload all images.
Is this a glitch?
I can get the projects there if I manually do it through the cloud interface, but I had hoped to switch to Connector for it’s easy drag and drop of the .p4d file.
