Upload to PIX4Dcloud / Project Cost and Account BalanceWhen uploading to PIX4Dcloud / PIX4Dcloud Advanced, the Project Cost and Account Balance field informs the number of credits needed to process the project along with the credits available.
Uploading a project with sufficient credits
With sufficient credits, tap Upload to process as usual. An email will be sent informing of the upload, along with an email indicating when the project has finished processing.
Uploading a project with insufficient credits
If there is an insufficient amount of credits available to process a project, an alert will appear along with two options.
With insufficient credits, there are two options to choose from:
- Upload anyway. This option allows the upload to PIX4Dcloud and holds processing (while there is a valid PIX4Dcloud / PIX4Dcloud Advance license) until sufficient credits are added to the account. The project will be tagged Waiting for Capacity to indicate this status in the Project list.
- Cancel. This option cancels the upload, and the project will remain saved to the mobile device.
