Project and project group¶

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:
| One object in the scene with only one alignment mode | One project in the group | One project can scan and save all data of the object. |
| Multiple objects in the scene with only one alignment mode | One project in the group | only need one project to finish the scan |
| Multiple objects in the scene need different alignment methods | One project for each object. | Objects with different alignment methods need to be separated in different projects. |
| 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 need different alignment methods | One project for each part of the object | Scan different parts and align them by using different methods. |
