Open Mapping Run
Select the camera from the drop-down menu of all available cameras from the mapping runs in the dataset list.

• New: Add a new draft to the list. A new window is opened where the mask can be drawn over an image from the selected camera.
• Edit: Edit the selected draft from the list.
• Import, Export, Duplicate, Delete: Import, Export, Duplicate or Delete a draft from the list.

A preview of the mask draft is displayed so that the shape, color and resolution can be verified.

• Name: Define the name of the mask that will be created.
• Create: The location of the mask is opened at creation. Every mask is accompanied by an ini-file which contains the color and resolution of the mask.

The Mask is applied when choosing the corresponding option at Optimize Imagery.
