Save OBJ file after modifications NOT possible

[pdussart]

Sir,

HAPPY NEW YEAR

If I load into Zephyr free an existing OBJ file, it seems impossible to save your modifications.

Process:
1) Load an existing OBJ file (possibly not made by Zephyr)
2) Edit the file, for instance clean unnecessary bits and pieces
3) close holes (watertight in one step)
4) Export you updated file or used Advanced/Genarte Mesh options

1) and 2) are OK
3) Watertight option is displayed in light grey and not available
4) Export Mesh to OBJ in light grey and not available

Is it a "normal" restriction foo Zephyr free.
Is it available for Lite version ?

Regards, Philippe

Hi Philippe,
Happy new year too!


3DF Zephyr is a photogrammetry software with mesh filters to modify surfaces obtained from images or lidar data, but not modeling tools.

In your case, you can structure the mesh starting from the mesh with texture, edit it and save the zep.

In 3DF Zephyr Free, if you want to re-export the mesh with the texture, you have to regenerate it from the edited mesh with the images you don't have.

In 3DF Zephyr Lite, there are more export options, even for meshes, if you are not interested in textures directly.


In this case, the best strategy can depend on what you want to obtain in the end.
Cheers
