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 needs to scan with only one alignment mode.	Only one alignment mode can be used in the same project.
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.	Please create multiple projects within one project group when scanning a large object or multiple objects. After scanning, you can align these projects one by one.

Create a Project Group¶

Two ways to create a project group:

Method One: Click New project group before scanning.

Method Two: Click and select New project group in the scanning interface.

In the prompt window, select the storage path, name the project group and click Comfirm. All scanned data will be saved to the folder with the name you just set.

Open a Project Group¶

Two ways to open a project group:

Method One: Click Open project group before scaning.

Method Two: Click and select Open project group in the scanning interface.

In the prompt window, select the project group file and then click Open.

Note

The current project group will be saved automatically when opening a project group.
Only the project group scanned in the same scan mode can be opened.

Project Management¶

Col

Each project is a part of the project group. You can use these buttons to manage projects.

Col

Icon	Function	Description
	New Project	Click to create a new project when the scanner is connected.
	Open Project	Click to import a project. You can right-click one in the list to rename it.
	Remove Project	Click to remove the project from the list, which still exists in the folder and you can add it in the list by opening it.
	Delete Project	Click to delete the project, which can not be recovered.
/	Visible / Invisible	Click to show / hide the data or markers.

Note

If the project being deleted or removed is the last project in the list (i.e., the current project), the previous project in the list becomes the current project, and you can perform scanning operations on it.
If a project with the same name as an existing project in the list is opened from a different path, "_1" will be appended to the name of the opened project.
If a project is imported into the project group from a different path, deleting it will not affect the original data in the original path. Only the project data copied to the project group folder will be deleted.
