Saving your work
Use the “Save session” option to save your entire session for editing in ZScan.
This is the most complete save as everything can be restored later and the scan
can be continued.
Use “Save Facets” to export a file for use with post-treatment software. Only the
facets will be exported. Exportation can be done in STL files (ASCII or BINARY)
or the points (extremities of surface triangles)
Use “Save Positioning Features” to save your positioning model for later
importation. Note that imported positioning features will be static and will not
readjust their position while scanning. You will not get results from the “Optimize
Positioning Model” in this case.
TIP: It is recommended to save the STL first, then the session, then the
features.
