Project and project group¶

Project group¶

To start scanning, you need to create / open a 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.

Scenario	Project group	Instruction
One object in the scene, one align mode for the object	One project in the group	Only need one project to finish the scan
Multiple objects in the scene, all can align with the same mode	One project in the group	only need one project to finish the scan
Multiple objects in the scene, need different align mode	One project for each object	The objects might be different in material or need different align mode
A big object in the scene	One project for one part of the object	Scan different part and align together
One object in the scene but needs different align mode in different part	One project for each part of the object	Scan different part and align with different mode
