they would align with the 20213 imagery and models. We were able to align the orthomosaic using Georeferencer ( 3.28.2). We have not been able to rectify the DSM.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

was out of the mapping area and the elevation data was no longer correct. We also used the 4 corners of the DSM for the control points in Georeferencer (these corners are the same corner extents as the rectified orthomosaic. This also produced a geotiff
somewhere on earth with no elevation data.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

was produced the same time the DSM was made was used as the base map. Again the produced file (png) was somewhere on earth but not in the correct location and the elevation data was corrupt.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
