AGL altitude based on measured surface data

Gergely

I would like to know if it is possible to reference AGL using measured surface data instead of relying on ESRI's elevation model. I’m conducting regular drone surveys of a construction site where the terrain currently varies by approximately 15 meters between the highest and lowest points. The topography has changed significantly over time, and since I’m flying at an altitude of 20 meters, maintaining accurate ground clearance is critical to ensure safe and consistent data capture.

    Thank you for your response. I understand that implementing this feature may be complex. Would it perhaps be more feasible to enable the definition of Boundary Points in 3D? This could allow users to introduce elements similar to breaklines, and potentially a new type of element (such as break points) enabling more flexibility within the boundary itself.

    While this approach might be significantly easier to implement from DL's side and shift more of the workload to the user, it could also deliver a long-awaited feature that would bring substantial value to the user community.

    We may prioritize feature work around this in the future, but I was just pointing you to the right thread.
