Important: Uploading project files from PIX4Dmapper to PIX4Dcloud for processing differs from the Share to cloud option available in PIX4Dmatic and PIX4Dfields. In PIX4Dmatic and PIX4Dfields, the Share to PIX4Dcloud option allows users to upload locally processed files to PIX4Dcloud for sharing purposes. However, this feature is not available in PIX4Dmapper. From PIx4Dmapper, the project can be uploaded for processing. In order to upload processed files, it is necesary to go to PIX4Dcloud user interfacce and import them there.
Important: When uploading from PIX4Dmapper to PIX4Dcloud for processing, credits or allowance will be consumed.
To upload the project files:
1. In PIX4Dmapper, on the menu bar, click View > Processing.
2. On the processing bar at the bottom, check the three boxes for all the steps. For more information: Menu View > Processing.
3. On the menu bar, click Project > Upload Project Files...
4. In the File Upload window, check the box Start Processing.
Note: The option Start processing is not available for PIX4Dmapper version 3.0.18. To start the processing, open the uploaded project on PIX4Dcloud and, in the Images section, click Start processing.
5. Click Upload.
6. An email is sent shortly to inform the user of the project status.
Information: If the Point Cloud needs to be edited, after the processing on PIX4Dcloud is completed, download the Point Cloud and open it locally to edit it. Then replace the Point Cloud previously generated on PIX4Dcloud with the edited one. To do so, under the project processed on PIX4Dcloud, in the upper right corner, click Files > Results, and in the corresponding Point Cloud box, Replace File.
Important: Before uploading images to PIX4Dcloud, make sure that all images have unique filenames, even if they are in different folders.
