Optimization options	Description	Instructions
Texture	Brightness and Contrast can be adjusted.	Only project files that exclusively contain textures are accessible to this function.
Simplification	Simplify the model data as the triangular mesh generated from the scan is in a large size. Drag the slider or click the page up/down arrow to set the ratio from 1 to 99. The default is 0, indicating no simplification.	Over-simplification will result in the loss of data details. Click Preview to preview. Click Confirm to confirm and save. This action is irreversible. Click Cancel to restore and exit.
Mesh Optimization	Restructure the mesh topology based on the mesh curvature and sharpen the surface features of scan data. Drag the slider or click the page up/down arrow to set the ratio from 1 to 100. The default is 0, indicating no optimization.	The optimization duration varies depending on the amount of data. Click Preview to preview. Click Confirm to confirm and save. This action is irreversible. Click Cancel to restore and exit.
Smooth	Smooth the possible noise on the surface of the scan data. Drag the slider or click the page up/down arrow to set the ratio from 1 to 100. The default is 0, indicating no smooth.	Click Preview to preview. Click Confirm to confirm and save. This action is irreversible. Click Cancel to restore and exit.
Remove small floating parts	Remove small floating parts in the scan data. Drag the slider or click the page up/down arrow to set the ratio from 1 to 100. The default is 0, indicating no removal.	Click Preview to preview. Click Confirm to confirm and save. This action is irreversible. Click Cancel to restore and exit.
Auto Hole Filling	After selecting the hole filling type, enter the perimeter. Holes within the specified perimeter will be filled automatically.	Hole filling types：
Manual Hole Filling	After entering the manual hole filling mode, the hole edges are displayed green and get red after picking. The number of the holes and the number of holes filled will be displayed on the interface.	Select filling types before picking a hole and then click the edges to perform filling actions. Manually save the post-processing data.
Flip Normal	To redefine the front direction of the scanned data in reversal design. Hold Shift+left mouse button to select areas to be flipped.	Texture remapping should be performed first as it is not accessible after flip normal. Default is to flip the entire dataset if no flip areas is selected.
Cutting Plane Tool	Define a plane to re-adjust the coordinate system of the scanned data. Hold Shift+left mouse button to select a plane by drawing a straight line and then activate Delete selection and close intersection or Delete selection.	Click Preview or Orient Based On Plane to preview. Click Confirm to confirm and save. This action is irreversible. Click Cancel to save and exit.
Mirror	Take the front view plane of scan data as the working plane. Draw a straight line as the central axis and perform a symmetrical copy. Hold Shift+left mouse button to draw a straight line as the central axis and then click Keep the initial mesh.	Click Preview to preview. Click Confirm to confirm and save. This action is irreversible. Click Cancel to save and exit. Texture remapping should be performed first as it is not accessible after mirror.
Zoom	Adjust the scaling ratio of the model. Enter a value to set the ratio. The default is 100, indicating no zoom.	Click Preview to preview. Click Confirm confirm and save. This action is irreversible. Click Cancel save and exit. Texture remapping or Texture Mapper is not accessible after performing zoom.

	Third-party software	Save the data and open with third-party software.
	Shining3D Digital Cloud	Upload the model file to the cloud associated with the current account. Support data files in OBJ, STL, PLY format.
	Texture Mapper	Merge HD texture images with the model file to enhance the overall texture quality of the scanned data.
	Model Display	After enabling the model display by clicking the icon or pressing F12, the model will rotate at a specified speed (Click to rotate clockwise; press F12 or Esc again to exit). Note The model will only rotate and display from the current view after entering the model display interface. Exit and adjust the angles in the post-processing interface if other views are in need.
