With ist the best drone setup?

What is the best drone and software for making 3d models to import in PvSol?

Hi Patrik Redebrandt

This is hard to tell. Generally we do not explicitly recommend any (photogrammetry) software. There is https://github.com/alicevision/Meshroom , https://www.blender.org/ (+ photogrammetry plugin) and https://insight3d.sourceforge.net/, but so far we do not have much experience to give recommendations. http://www.meshlab.net/ should be great to correct and even out the produced meshes. My approaches date back six years, so I am not up to date I'd say. There is also the fact that we do have very little input material to test the most practical ways.

At the same time I do want to recommend contacting other forum members who do have more experience regarding complex 3D scans.

Kind regards

Hi Patrik

I am using a DJI Mavic 2 enterprise and take a lot (>100) of overlapping pictures.
Than I use WebODM to create a 3D model after that you need to clean up the model with Meshmixer for PV*Sol usage.

For my purposes these 3D models arre sufficient.

Hey @Johan, what do you mean with "clean up the model"? Do you mean to crop it ? Or to reduce the vectors?
