I'm using CM occasionally since Vectorworks 2010 for architecture purpose
Now I'm asked to place large models in big areas far from me
So customers usually take pictures made by smartphones with bad quality and big distortion
These areas have no certain references and I've often to create panoramas merging pictures, adding even more distortion
Sometimes I also have to use Street Views snapshots
Is it possible to correct these kind of distortion?
Fortunately a big precision is not requested
Having a reasonable margin, I've tried the following trick but unsuccessfully
First I place the Ref Point, then the vert. lines and after the left and right lines, as better as possible
Try to see if the calculated horizontal line matches the picture one
I trace a new reference line where I think the horizontal line has to be and put the two vanishing points on it, moving green and red lines
Then I slide the vanishing points right and left on the HL to match the perspective
The problem is that at a certain point green and red lines misalign with the correspondent ref point. axes and the preview box goes out of perspective, getting me crazy
This has nothing to do with the picture distortion
What's wrong about that?
Does the error refers to blu vertical lines alignment?
PS: the picture is just an example of street view photo
