DJI Modify – 3D model editing

DJI Modify is suited to surveyors, GIS specialists, infrastructure planners and engineers who need to professionally post-process and classify LiDAR point clouds and 3D models from DJI Terra and prepare them for GIS or CAD workflows.

Import and export must be considered separately: for 3D meshes, DJI Modify uses the project results generated with DJI Terra; general mesh import from any third-party software is not supported. For point clouds, DJI specifies the import of LAS files. Depending on the Terra/Modify version, suitable project files and the “Work with DJI Modify” option are required. Point clouds can be exported as LAS 1.2, LAS 1.4, PNTS, PLY, PCD and S3MB. 3D meshes are output as B3DM, OSGB, PLY, OBJ and S3MB. LAZ and FBX are not guaranteed as Modify export formats. We check the required format and compatibility with your target system before setup.

DJI Modify runs on Windows and requires an NVIDIA graphics card as well as sufficient RAM for the data volume (up to 50 % of available memory per LAS file). For very large datasets, Modify automatically splits the data into blocks and processes them sequentially.

Yes. We support you from consulting and live demo through configuration to training, commissioning and support – for smooth operations in your organisation.

DJI Terra handles reconstruction – converting drone data into point clouds and 3D models. DJI Modify handles post-processing: classification, cleaning, profile analysis and export. The two tools are directly aligned and together form an end-to-end workflow from raw data capture to the finished geodata product.

That depends on the format: according to DJI, PLY, PCD and S3MB do not support ASPRS classification information. With LAS 1.2, classes above 32 are reset to class 1. For handover to GIS or CAD systems, format, classification and coordinate system must be checked together.
