Project and project group¶

Create or open a project group before scanning.

Project group¶

Project group is the standard file structure of the software. It contains one project or more. Each project contains the scan data of its own. Project group is mainly used in the following scenarios:

Project Group	Scenario	Description
Only one project in the project group	One object can be scanned with many align modes. (New)	The align mode can't be switched in a project if the project align mode is global markers.
Multiple projects in the project group	One object needs to scan with multiple alignment modes. Multiple objects or one large object need to scan with one or more alignment modes	It is recommended to create multiple projects within one project group when scanning the large object and mutiple objects as well as scanning with multiple alignment modes. After scanning, you can align these projects one by one.
