Are you looking for Metashape python script for free? To enhance your experience with Metashape Pro, you can use the built-in Python scripting language to automate tasks and improve functionality. Therefore, by incorporating Python scripts, you streamline workflows and customize the software to fit your specific needs.
This toolkit is a useful edition to what is a very capable, feature rich product – it opens up customisation and enrichment of how we work.
Technical Director José has a keen eye for improvement and decided the transform options for the View, Region and Object could be enhanced. So he set Geobit ES to work creating a script to make life a little easier.
Loading the free Metshape Python Script
To streamline your workflow, you can easily load all Python scripts from the Tools menu or automatically from the user profile area at startup. Simply place the script in the following folder:
- Windows: C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/Agisoft/Metashape Pro/scripts/
- Mac: /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Agisoft/Metashape Pro/scripts/
- Linux: /home/<username>/.local/share/Agisoft/Metashape Pro/scripts/
Now that we have added the free Metashape Python Script, on starting or loading we now get a new menu item called Helpers:
Transform Options
When using Metashape python’s free script, Transform can work with three items:
- View – what is the viewport direction?
- Region – where is the bounding box?
- Object – where is the 3D reconstruction?
View allows us to manipulate the direction of the viewport via buttons for the named views, or rotated manually via the XYZ coordinates.
Region allows us to manipulate the position and size of the bounding box by steps or sliders.
However, selecting Object triggers a warning:
If you happen to transform your geo located model unintentionally then the Reset Transformation can be used to put things back.
