Underlay Perspective Correction

Deskew a photographed flat plan before setting its scale.

Perspective correction helps straighten a flat source photographed at an angle. It cannot recover missing detail or turn a photograph of uneven terrain into an accurate survey.

1

Load and adjust the source

Open Import → Underlays, load the reference and move to Adjust. Rotate or crop as needed to make the area you are correcting clear.

2

Set the correction corners

Choose Deskew perspective and move the correction handles to the four corners of the rectangular area that should appear square-on. Check the corrected preview; use Reset perspective to remove the correction.

3

Calibrate after correction

Go to Size and calibrate a known distance on the corrected image. Inspect another known distance in a different direction to detect distortion. Finish only when the reference is suitable for your purpose.
