The altitude setting in the user data, when getting the value from Google it ask you for the Capture height
Is this measurement in cm, meters, feet ?
Changing the units value in the setting between "metric" and "Imperial" does not alter this.
Seem to be in meters, but how do you have it in feet?

Help for others:-
For others looking to update all node at once
If you select all nodes you wish to get altitude values, then select the Satellite icon.
It will ask for the "Capture Height" and then ask if you wish to update all selected node for just the current.
There you go all node done, with the different altitudes.

Hi YELLX360,
As far as I know, Pano2VR uses the WGS84 which is in meters.
Therefore it can only be displayed in Meters.

I must confess I do not know too much about this so I will add a feature request to have it in imperial, I am sure Thomas or Christoph will let me know if it can be done or not.

OK, If it is only in meters may be good idea to put this in the capture height or help box.
Many thanks

Hi,
In all fairness, the Altitude text box does show the unit being in meters.
But you are quite correct the capture height does not show any units nor does the help tooltip.
