Export from Drone Deploy to Evercam

This export process is for cases that we do not have the source of the raw files from the drone flight (preferred method) and flights have already been uploaded to Drone Deploy.

The 3D team will need three different exports. These exports will need to be uploaded to a Google Drive folder which should be shared to the 3D team.

  • 3D Model

  • GeoTIFF Map

  • Elevation

Request for a link to the Google Drive folder from the 3D team and share the folder with the client.

Export 3D Model

  1. Navigate to Drone Deploy and choose the project that you will work on.


  2. Choose the right date and click on the Export button to access the export options.



  3. Select the 3D model option.




    1. Enter your email address to receive a notification when the export is ready.

    2. Keep the Type as .OBJ (default).

    3. Click Export to start the process.



Export GeoTIFF Map

  1.  Select the GeoTIFF Map option.

    4. Set the Resolution (5 cm/px).

    5. Click Export to start the process.


Export Elevation (DEM)

  1. Select the Elevation option.


    1. Choose the File Type as Raw Elevation Values (DEM).
