The altitude value that you specify will alter the point's physical height in the ARDI Virtual Environment. //Note: Remember that an altitude of 0 is at the base ground level and does not factor in the height of the person filming the footage. It is recommended to set this to an appropriate height that represents the height in which the footage was taken such as a value ranging between 0.5-1.0 minimum.// | + | You may then specify a name for the photo point and adjust it's altitude. |
