However, using too many targets can add confusion and make it difficult
to identify which targets correspond to one another.

The distance that a target can be placed from the scanner depends on
many factors. Light, moisture, and dust can reduce the scanner’s range.
Adjusting the Quality setting can help compensate for these conditions,
but also increases the Scan Duration .
The two factors that most affect distance are the Resolution setting and
the size of the target. For example, when using checkerboard targets
printed on letter-size paper and a Resolution setting of 1/4, the targets
should not be placed more than 50 feet from the scanner.
The
Resolution setting affects maximum distance because it determines
the
Point Distance
. Because the
Point Distance
increases with distance
from the scanner, placing a target too far from the scanner can result in
too few points captured on the target.

It is always a good
idea to have extra
targets available.
