# Menu Bar ## 1 Project ### 1.1 New Project After opening Get3D Mapper software, click **New Project** or **Project >New Project** or use the shortcut key "**Ctrl + N**". Open the New Project page. On the New Project page, you can set the project name and project directory. If cluster computing is required, set the project path to the network path.

### 1.2 Open Project Click **Project > Open Project**, select the \*.m3d project file, and click **Open**. You can also open the project by clicking "Project Name.m3d" in the **Recent Projects** list.

### 1.3 Save Project Click **Project > Save Project** button or use the shortcut key "Ctrl+S" to save the project information. ### 1.4 Clean Project Project processing is complete, click the Project > Clean Project function to clean up the completed project. If the project has a task running, you can not perform this operation. It does not contain the product results generated by the software.

**① Clean Project Cache** Project cache includes AT feature point files(KeyPoints folder) and thumbnail file(Preview folder). **② Clean Block Cache** Block cache includes AT match files, bundle files and other setting files(Block/Cache folder). **③ Clean Reconstruction Cache** Reconstruction cache includes dense matching point files(Block/Reconstruction/cache\_points folder). **④ Reconstruction Tile Cache** Reconstruction tile cache includes tile’s midout results(Block/Reconstruction/Tile folder) **⑤ Clean Reconstruction Log** Reconstruction log includes production log files(Block/Reconstruction/Productions/Production/Tile folder). Quickly clean up files by selecting the corresponding cache. ### 1.5 Close Project Click **Project > Close Project**, and select **Yes** in the pop-up box to close the project. ### 1.6 Exit Click **Project > Exit** or use the shortcut key "Ctrl+W" to close Get3D Mapper. ## 2 Block

### 2.1 Save Block Perform a save operation for the edited Aerial Triangulation (AT). For example, save the AT results after deleting photos, tie points, or control points. ### 2.2 Import Block Aerial Triangulation results can be exported to do Aerial Triangulation results backup or re-imported into other projects to use. Get3D Mapper supports the import of Aerial Triangulation formats: \*.xml, \*.xbin.

### 2.3 Export Block Get3D Mapper supports the export of internally generated data such as tie points, marking points information, etc. in the format of \*.xml, \*.xbin, \*patb. Select the export data type and cilck OK to export.

This feature is usually used to export AT file as **.xml** file. ### 2.4 Export Block Map Export the POS point locations for the specified block in JPG or PDF format.

### 2.5 Modify Photo Directory If the original photo paths have changed, to ensure that the Aerial Triangulation and Reconstruction tasks read these photos properly, you need to update the paths of the photos in the block. Click **Block > Modify Photo Directory**

Click **Refresh** at the bottom of the screen to check before making changes. * Red: The path of the photos recorded in the block is abnormal, and there is no corresponding photo under the path. * Green: The corresponding photos can be found in all the photo paths recorded in the block.

Double click to select the new path. The photo storage structure has not changed, and other paths can be replaced automatically.

For damaged or missing images, you can delete them by clicking **Delete Lost Photos.** ## **3 Setting**

The settings are related to Get3D Engine. For more details on its introduction and operation, refer to the previous section [**Get3D Engine**](https://docs.get3d.ai/user-help-center/get3d-mapper/software-overview/get3d-engine). ## 4 Tool The tool contains two functions: **Merge DOM/DSM**, and **Model Origin Setting** ### 4.1 Merge DOM/DSM Merge the generated DOM/DSM split images into a whole image. The specific use operation is as follows.

① Select the corresponding "Block", "Reconstruction" and "Product". ② Select the **DOM** and **DSM** of the products to be merged and set the output path. ③ Input the sample interval. ④ Set the correct coordinate system. ⑤ Click **Merge** button to start merging DOM/DSM. ### **4.2 Model Origin Setting** For 3D models in OSGB format, due to limitations on decimal precision, data with ground resolutions at the centimeter level may experience a loss of precision when the model's position in the X or Y direction exceeds 10,000 meters from the origin during reconstruction. This can lead to visual issues such as flickering surfaces in the displayed model. To address this, a model origin should be defined for every 10,000-meter grid to reduce the magnitude of model coordinate values. ① Import boundary KML/SHP.

② Set the initial origin coordinates, gird length and model origin position.

③ Model origin view.

④ Export model origin.

⑤ Import multi-origin file in product setting interface. Tiles will be exported automatically based on the defined origins.
