And I did that, and it appears to be quite similar to the ellipse I get in graphic tab of the project after the adjustment. So that seems fine.

If I draw them in CAD and overlap over my ellipses that I got as described above, I find them to be much showing much smaller area. Reading more in the documentation I saw that those standard deviations are about 20% of confidence in case of 3D points.

So, I am wondering how do I find that scale factor exactly in order to have for example 95% confidence level? And do my standard deviations for x, y and z represent only 20% confidence level?
