      The Log Output bar contains valuable information about the steps and substeps of processing, the actions taken, the warnings, and the errors during the processing. It is an important piece of information during project processing as it helps in the early detection of errors.

      Access:
      • On the Menu bar, click View > Log Output to enable the bar at the button of the main window. For information more about the displayed bars: Displaying bars or,

      • Click on Log Output bottom left panel in the PIX4Dmapper interface.

      Important:
      • PIX4Dmapper exports the log file (project_name.log). It is stored in the output folder project_name.
      • The log file displayed at the Log Output bar is cleared each time PIX4Dmapper closes. The next time the software is opened, the log file will start registering the different actions from scratch.
