Zac, I also use ContextCapture on a cluster. I could be mistaken, but as far as I understand, the aerotriangulation is treated as a single job. Consequently, it is only processed on a single machine. That being said, you will likely want to have the aerotriangulation run on your most powerful machine. This can be simply done by closing the engines on all of the other machines and submitting the aerotriangulation. Then once the machine you want picks up that job, open up the engines on the other machines for the rest of the processing. Or you can probably automate it using the engine settings you mentioned. Perhaps there is some other way to run aerotriangulation using multiple engines, but I am not aware of it. I have heard that you can break up your model area into regions and later combine the finished productions using microstation. That might be another avenue to investigate. -Benjamin
