Normal refers to the calculated directions of each facet.
In the BASIC and ADVANCED parameters, set the amount of smoothing as needed. In ADVANCED, higher
values for Radius and Iteration result in smoother surfaces.
Isolation: Automatically remove point cloud data that is isolated from the main body of the object (for example, a portion
of the arm when scanning a person’s head). For parameters in ADVANCED, higher values for Radius, Angle
and Isolation Rate remove more of the point cloud data.
Simplify: Simplify the point cloud (remove data points that do not improve the accuracy of the scan).
Overlap Detection: Detect and delete overlapping, and unnecessary, data points in the point cloud.
Meshing: Convert the point cloud into a meshed 3D model.
3. Mesh
In the Mesh module, the available commands are Clip, Smooth, Isolation, Simplify, Enhance, Fill Hole and Convert to Point
cloud.
Clip: Clip the model plane. If there are unnecessary surfaces or meshed data that would not be excised by the
Isolation command, use this function to manually remove it.
Smooth: Smooth flat or curved surfaces; this function can be applied repeatedly as needed.
In the parameters for BASIC and ADVANCED, set the amount of smoothing as needed.
There are two smoothing options for ADVANCED: Geometry and Denoise.
Isolation: Remove extraneous meshed data that is separated or only loosely connected to the main body.
Simplify: Simplify the mesh file (reduce the number of polygons in the model while retaining as much detail as possible).
Enhance: Sharpen the details of the 3D model.
Fill Holes: Fill the missing part(s) on the model’s surface. Currently, this function only works when filling small holes
because gross distortions typically result when filling holes that are a significant portion of the object’s volume.
Convert to Point Cloud: Convert the meshed 3D model into a point cloud.
