Filling in the sides of my map

I posted this 12 hours ago and didn't see it in the community so ill post again or please delete.

I am new to mapping and so far with the tireless help of support I think I am making very good maps and using terrain awareness

I am interested in filling in the sides of my maps. I think it is referred to as Full 3D, according to what I read, on the MME site when they were talking about images in Nadir. This is the Quote. "The only exception to this is if you are planning on processing your data as Full 3D in which our system will make use of oblique images".

This being said can you advise me on how to take and process oblique images so the sides of maps have data?

Thank in advance, Jim

We answered your initial request via email about 7 hours after it was received but we are glad to answer it here too for others:

You most likely don't need to be running things as Full 3D which is designed for modeling a single structure. The outputs are still 3D. Try a normal Camera GPS workflow and you will see it is probably what you need.

Collecting oblique images properly requires manual flight and a deep understanding of collection overlap properly.

Another way to do it is tipping the gimbal up about 30 degrees or so for the normal grid flight data collection. This is OK but will still likely leave gaps. To do a good job for a full 3D reconstruction you really just have to fly manually and keep a mental overlap map in your head.
