1 year ago Typically this means that the bounding box is not covering the point cloud . You can manually try to rest the bounding box. It som,etimes also occurs if the GPS data of the images is faulty. Check for outlier.
Otherwise keep the 1.8 if you are not using Lidar data this is fine. I try to fix the downward breaches asap. Please check the updated version.

Dear Chris,
I used the Ortho+ plugin to process a set of RGB images over a forest using the latest version of Metashape Pro for linux (2.0.1). Specifically, I used the Best Practices workflow using GCPs to georeference the images. Steps 1, 2 and 3 (from image alignment, manual marking of GCPs to optimisation of the sparse cloud) all work fine, however, when I want to run step 4 I get the error "Null point cloud", this means that the system does not recognise or detect the sparse cloud.
Log error _Agisoft Metashape Professional Version: 2.0.1 build 16069 (64 bit) Platform: Linux _BuildModel: source data = Point cloud, surface type = Height field, face count = High, OOC version, interpolation = Enabled, vertex colors = 1 Finished processing in 0.010364 sec (exit code 0) Error: Null point cloud__
So I tried to install new Python3 dependencies but the error remained.
Then, I uninstalled the Linux version of metashape pro 2.1.0 and installed the previous version 1.8.5 and when I ran step 4 to create the mesh and the orthomosaic it worked.
So, maybe the error derives from some incompatibility of Ortho + with the latest version of metashape pro version 2.0.1 for Linux
