Before you start matching, specify the required tolerance value. Then click the
Start matching
button.
During matching, the standard deviation, mean value and convergence for each data set are
displayed in the result table. The Constraints value indicates the distance by which each data
set was moved from its original position. All values are given in millimeters.
After the matching has finished, deviations in the surface measurement data sets are
visualized according to an updated color lookup table if the
Recolor automatically
checkbox is
active.
Note
The data quality can generally be increased with tolerance based matching. Therefore it makes
sense to
always
apply tolerance based matching – after scanning, but before post-processing.
For best results, do relatively short scans and avoid changing the scanning direction. In other
words, do not move the scanner back and forth over the object in a single scan. Instead, do two
scans with the scanner moving first in one direction and then in the opposite direction.
11.4 Optimize Triangle Meshes
To access the triangle mesh optimization functions, choose
Edit

. The
following submenu appears:
11.4.1 Remove Unassociated Areas
This function is used to remove isolated meshes or parts of meshes which consist of only a few
triangles.
The menu entry
Edit

when at least one triangle mesh has been loaded.
The following dialog appears:
