Greeting! Due to the proximity of a nearby class C airport, I was limited to a flight altitude of 200 ft AGL. My subject, an abandoned coal fired power plant with a 200 ft smoke stack. Therefore, I was only able to collect orbiting oblique imagery.....in total, 190 images (about 900MB total). No sense sending the collect to you.....I get it, you're "maps", but typically, when I send you jobs, I also check the box for SketchFab 3D model.....regardless of the file size.....I've received 3D model. (I also have a $120/yr account with them). Any who, since no NADIR in this collect.....skip MME....send to directly to SketchFab....MME's "partner". Sketchfab says "file too large".....and then I see, my account limits me to a mere 20MB file. That would be about 26 images. That might be fine for 3D models of table-top subjects, but we UAV fliers build models the size of construction jobsites. Even their $249/month plan wouldn't work, as that plan limits files to 500MB. Soooooo, how is it that checking that box for 3D model in the MME workflow.....on large data collects.....I'm netted a 3D model, but not otherwise? Have my previous (MME upload) 3D models been derived by using just a small portion of the images? And if I can't include a NADIR collect for MME process, how do I get large projects processed for 3D models? Sorry this is so long winded :-)

It sounds like yo uneed to set your Sketchfab Plan Type properly go make sure the files that are getting uploaded are the appropriate size. Maps Made Easy decimates the model appropriately such that the model that gets uploaded to Sketchfab is within the account's parameters.
They may have changed their file sizes since we added support for them. I can see how a 20MB limit would mess things up.
Ah! My error with the "20MB".....it's 200MB. Still not close to what I saw when I tried uploading to SketchFab. 190 (20MP) images was around 900MB. Their business plan max is 500MB.....not like I can justify the cost anyway..... when looking at how often I use this service. As for all your other points. I'll do some "homework" and get back to you. Thanks, Zane.

The OBJ files that we create are typically WAY larger than the 500MB limit in Sketchfab. Our automatic uploading process sizes the files appropriately.
If you need to manually do what we did you can open it in Meshlab and decimate the model down to a size that will work with your account.
