I stumbled across a great tool today that allows you to see your Litchi Waypoint missions in 3d to confirm that your mission will clear obstacles. It turns out that you can download your Missions at 3D KML paths and then that file as a Project into Google Earth (earth.google.com/web) to see the mission in 3d.

You can actually get a pretty good preview of what the flight will look like before firing up the motors! Super cool.
 

An even greater tool.

Not sure if you've tried Dronelink (www.dronelink.com), but it does all of that - and more.

That is exactly what I need but is there any way you could clear up your instructions? I'm having trouble with the steps. Thanks......
 
Sure. I am going to play with some of the suggestions above today, but the very simple thing I tripped over was this:

1. After creating your mission in Mission Hub, click "MISSIONS"
2. Select "Export as MKL 3D Path" and make note of where the file was downloaded to (likely your "Downloads" folder).
3. Go to earth.google.com/web
4. Select Menu (the 3 horizontal bars) in the upper left corner of the screen
5. Select "Projects"
6. Select "Open" and import your KML file from the location in step 2 above.

That should do it.
