DJI Terra 3.7+: corrupt OBJ export with multiple blocks

DJI Terra 3.7.0 and newer will export .obj files with corrupt geometry if your project has multiple blocks (i.e., outputs multiple OBJ files). Opening these .obj files in any 3D viewer (Meshlab, Maya, Blender, etc) will show the corrupt geometry.

Every release of DJI Terra after 3.6.8 has been shown to produce this output bug. We have notified DJI in September of 2023. DJI is working on a fix.

3.6.8 working well (03-31-2023)
3.7.0 has bug (05-25-2023)
3.7.3 has bug (06-15-2023)
3.7.6 has bug (07-06-2023)
3.8.0 has bug (08-17-2023)

While we wait for a fix, please downgrade to DJI Terra 3.6.8. You will then need to re-run the Reconstruction of your data to produce proper geometry.
