I have been working with WebODM for a few months now trying to perfect a few things. For the most part I have a good handle on tweaking settings to generate outstanding orthophotos with excellent results. However, I am having a difficult time getting that perfect 3D model. I have uploaded my photos to an online service and they seem to generate a very acceptable 3D model (viewed below and also link to online model) but I cannot seem to replicate their results in WebODM. I know that WebODM has the ability. However, I am just not finding the right combination of settings to get the same acceptable results. I always seem to get a few areas around buildings that have holes in the 3D textured model as illustrated in the attached photos. I was hoping someone on this site may have a solution to my dilemma. The model I am working on is a simple 86 image project that I can provide access to the images in case someone thinks they can overcome the obstacles that I have run into. I would be interested to know if it is just a simple setting that I am just overlooking. Here are the processing parameters in WebODM for the model created so far:

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
