Processing queue
PIX4Dmatic has the capability to list projects for processing. From the queue, projects are processed in the order in which they are placed. A project will sit idle while waiting for the previous one to be completed. Once a project has been completed the next queued project will begin processing without delay.
While a project is processing, simply create a new project or open an existing project and click Start. The project will automatically be placed in the queue. The processing status will then be displayed in the Status center below.
Everytime I try to start a new project, the 'New Project' screen comes up blank. Nothing, not a text box, not an icon, not a click button, nothing. So I have tried three times now installing and uninstalling Mapper. Each time the same result. I have looked online for solutions and have come up blank. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hi Zachary,
At the moment we do not have other users reporting this issue. I will send you a message and request for additional information and we will have a look.
Best,
I am glad someone else has asked this as I am too experiencing this problem.
Hi,
The screenshot that you share is from Pix4Dmapper while this article is about creating a project in Pix4Dmatic.
Please make sure that the drivers of your GPU are updated.
Would you kindly also check if your computer meets the recommended system requirements?
Pix4Dmapper is tested, optimized, and supported only on Windows 10. Therefore, it might happen that on other platforms some issues will occur.
Best,
