Hi all,

I would like to take the flight path from a drone and convert that into a flythrough of my point cloud.
Is there a straightforward way to do this? I've tried importing the flightpath as a csv file but I only get a straight line. I've verified in terria that the lat,long,altitude data is correct, so the data should work. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

So first, I believe CC doesn't correctly manage geographical coordinates (Lat, Lon). Then the other issue will be to use any polyline as a trajectory for the 'Animation' plugin (that's currently not supported).

To see your drone track in cc in meters , convert to UTM in meter (use QGIS)
However cc uses cartesian coordinate, there will be around 6 cm error in z in first 1 km distance (earth curvature)
