Just can't get this to stitch in APG

Hi Kolor community.

Spent many hours attempting to stitch images in APG.  The project had THREE panos.  First two stitched perfectly but the last one just wouldn't go! Strange thing is when taking them into PTGui and Autodesk Stitcher they stitched perfect. 

Can anyone shed light?  I have uploaded the problematic images plus optimisation settings I'm using in APG.
Taken with Nikon D5000 and Nikor 10.5 Fisheye Lens.  I'm using APG 2.6.3 (Windows 64bit)
Zenith shot at 65 degrees.

Thanks
Thomas.

Select the Control Point Editor to check the links between images - you'll find that there are missing and incorrect links.  This is because the repetitive patterns and elements in the scene 'confuse' the automatic control point detection system - screenshot 1 shows links before correction.

Use the Control Point Editor to remove links between non-adjacent images and to create missing links between adjacent images, then optimise - screenshot 2 is after link correction and optimising.

Screenshot 3 shows rendered result.

It takes a few minutes at most to sort it out once you are familiar with the Control Points Editor.

@mediavets.

Massive thanks.  I learnt something new today!  Screenshot is final optimisation after following your advice.

@con
Tell me about it!

Re: Just can't get this to stitch in APG

Thomas,

Glad you finally succeeded.

Nevertheless, I wonder why, unlike the other images, the "Zenith view"seems to be deprived from any EXIF ?
By the same token, Kolor may investigate a reported bug that seems to affect APG when facing the EXIF of your images...
