DJI Modify orthographic export: 2D outputs from 3D models
Discover DJI Modify v1.6.0’s new orthographic export feature — generate 2D views from 3D models for surveying, inspection, and AEC workflows.
The DJI Modify v1.6.0 firmware update introduces a suite of new functionality — including orthographic export.
This feature enables users to transform any face of a 3D model into a distortion-free 2D output — as shown by the workflow video below.
If it doesn't play in high-res, click the Settings cog and select the highest resolution.
This allows professionals to quickly generate clean, measurable views of facades, slopes, and undersides — ideal for architectural elevations and technical analysis.
The result is a faster, more efficient workflow, with instant 2D deliverables that are lightweight and easy to integrate into CAD and BIM environments.
By removing distortion and simplifying data handling, orthographic export supports better decision-making across inspection, surveying, and AEC applications.
DJI Modify v1.6.0 firmware update: What else is new?
The DJI Modify v1.6.0 firmware update — released in April 2026 — brings other features and fixes, including:
Supports reducing triangular faces and texture to the specified ratios in 3D mesh models, reducing the exported file size and improving browsing performance in downstream software.
Supports block merging for 3D mesh models in PLY, OBJ, or FBX formats.
Supports displaying the coordinate system and position of 3D mesh models.
Supports merging and exporting point clouds into a single output file.
Supports switching display unit between foot and metre for point cloud and 3D mesh projects.
Supports importing and exporting LAZ files in point cloud projects.
Supports simultaneously displaying profile measurement markers in the main window of point cloud projects.
Supports inverting point cloud selection in the main window or profile of point cloud projects.
Optimised the efficiency of mesh flattening, deletion, and texture editing in 3D mesh models.
Optimised the display of coordinate system and positions in point cloud projects.
Fixed an issue where render cracks appeared after importing a Terra-reconstructed 3D mesh models into Modify for hole filling, caused by missing coordinate system file information.
