Thank you for the info...

Thanks for the update!

I really hope that a lot of the issues with Terra will be solved in the future. I for one really need the option to export 3D model with coordinates. Point cloud has coordinates but 3D model doesn't.
at least this one is good for me:

• Adds Merged Output option to merge output results in PLY, LAS, or PCD format for point cloud reconstruction.
  

It was driving me crazy since I can only use point cloud in other software.

The previous version has worked great using the DJI M300 + L1 + D-RTK 2 base station for LiDAR surveys. There is an issue with the new version when it comes to the position of the D-RTK 2 base station.

In this version, if the GDA94 / MGA Zone 56 (Australia) projected coordinate system is selected in the Base Station Position settings, it applies a negative shift in the easting and northing values, equivalent to the difference between MGA94 and MGA2020. If I select MGA2020 as the projected coordinate system, a positive offset is applied to the easting and northing of the DJI base. This is a problem because the lat/long position that I set in the M300 controller can only have one MGA coordinate - there should not be any offset applied if I switch between MGA94 and MGA2020 in the base station center point settings. This did not happen in the previous version of Terra.

In the previous version, the easting and northing values would be exactly the same whether I chose MGA94 or MGA2020 as the projected coordinate system in the base station position settings.
The only time an offset should be applied is if my base station was set over a MGA94 control point, but I want my output point cloud to be in MGA2020 (set in the reconstruction output settings) therefore a shift of approx. +500mm will be applied to the easting, and approx. +1.4m applied to the northing. If MGA94 is set as the output then no shift will be applied.

Please correct this issue in your next update. Horizontal shifts should not be occuring when defining the base station centre point projected coordinates. This is causing the output point cloud to be in the wrong position.

Making Terra only work withan NVIDIA GPU has got to be the dumbest single thing wrong with this software. You’ve successfully alienated over half of your potential users and 100% of Mac users using Boot Camp.
