Console tab

The main goal of the console panel is to track and show the progress of the actions and processes performed in the project. By default, the panel is collapsed and shows only the latest activity. By expanding the console panel it is possible to see the complete list of activities.

There are 5 levels of status that can appear in the console panel:

  • successful process Successful item: process/action is successful
  • warning process Warning item: cautionary advice
  • error process Error item: an error occurred during the processing
  • information process Information item: an action is taking place (e.g., reading a file, loading a file, etc.)
  • cancel Canceled items: action is canceled

Profile View tab

The Profile View tab elevation profile allows the visualization of the point clouds and vectors in a section along a specific profile showing its cross-section.

Videos & views tab

The main goal of the Videos & views tab PIX4Dsurvey Video is to help navigate the project, easily pass from one view to another by saving camera views for a later revisit, and create a video connecting all created camera views.
