Has anyone figured out how to share 3d models and mapping projects with clients through Terra? I have Pix4d mapper and cloud but I'm unable to properly export to it.

No doubt!  How do you share your results with clients so it is easy for them to view?  I like Terra but if you can’t share then it’s of no use.  

You have to go to my documents/DJI/DJITerra/username/your project
All orthophotos, DSM... should be there.

I for one cannot use the 3D model because it doesn't have coordinates.

Does anyone have an answer to this been trying to send a 3d model image to a client and can’t figure out how to view the data once I export it. It’s saving as json files and I need to be able to show clients who don’t have DJI terra

Hi there, new DJI Terra user here. I can find this data but I don't know how to compile it to share with clients or move in a deliverable format. At the moment, I am only looking to share 2D orthomosaics and 3D models. How do I take these files and create something that can be shared and/or easily opened on computers without DJI Terra software?

In your project folder you must find the format files required in Terra. If you asked for .LAS you will find a .LAS file, if you asked for a 3D file you should find OBJ...
But Terra is a big crap. Orient yourself rather towards Agisoft Metashape, PIX4D... it's up to you to try the evaluation versions and find which one suits you best.

Anyone found any real option for showing OBJ or B3DM files from DJI that doesn't require the end customer to buy Terra themselves?

Does @DJI actually have a viable plan for deliverables?

Or even merging the files to a single file. Many of the online viewer extensions have limits and having Terra chop up the model into 4 or 5 files is useless.

One way is to upload the files to Cesium and share a link with your end customer. There are also free 3D model viewers online, but they aren't very refined.

To share a 3D model use Sketchfab. It's free and easy. To share an Orthomosaic easily I'm still trying to find a way. I have a 24GB GeoTIFF that I can't even open to down scale it. Flighthub 2 can display maps across devices but I don't see a way to share those maps without giving someone your credentials. Not recommended.

Within the folder structure that is saved when you create the large geotiff file there will be a bunch of folders with a 2 digit number these are the tile layers. A tile is a 256x256 file that can be stitched together to display the image.

If you load these files up to a web server by just copying them you can point any GIS software that can display tileserver data at them. Things like the free QGIS is easy to use, or you can create overlays in Google Earth using a conversion server like https://github.com/grst/geos

Basically your file server has the files in 3 steps the 2 digit number is the “zoom level” or z value, the next directory is the X layer and the that directory contains the files that have the name.png or .jpg as the y value.

You then just point your software at http(s)://yourservername.com/yourtiledirectory/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

The software then just asks the tileserver for the right tiles at the right zoom and stitches them together on the fly as the user pans around and zooms in and out.

So by a simple copy and paste from the map directory of terra once it’s created your 2d ortho to your web server then you can view your Ortho on any software that can view tileservers.

Hope this helps.
