Vertical wall scanning

[helnet]

Hello,
I want to do a scan of the walls of a building. I saw UGCS which looks great but lacks information for use. What app do you have to suggest for vertical scanning?

Hello!

I think you should look into DroneDeploy service, as they have just recently added Vertical Flight support to capture building facades and then create a 3D map from it. I first saw this feature in their last year promotion video:

From what I can see, this option does not appear to be supported on Windows desktop yet.

Not sure what you mean by that? Last time I checked DroneDeploy was a web based service, i.e. it should be feature complete regardless of the desktop OS you are using. Unless they don't support flying vertical option on either iOS/Android mobile app? Sometimes it happens that features get released on iOS earlier than on Android.

Hello,

It doesn't seem to be supported on ios at the moment but I looked at UGCS again and think I can give it a try.

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Sure, glad to help. Also just remembered, it might be available only on the paid plan option, have you checked that?

Vertical Capture (DroneDeploy) doesn't appear on my dashboard as an option. I did some digging and apparently it's still in BETA. I signed up as a BETA tester but have heard nothing back yet.

I’ve not used this feature yet and I don’t know how accurate it is but Dronelink has “facades”. I have used their mapping with my MM and it worked really well. I would suspect that this mission would work well too.
