Mesh Editing

After meshing model, you can perform mesh editing, data editing and use some other functions.

Mesh Processing

In the Mesh Editing window on the left side of the interface, click for each optimization option to unfold the corresponding function panel.

Note

When using the stepper, you can directly enter the number or click to adjust the value.

Optimization options	Description	Note
Simplification	Simplify the model data as the triangular mesh generated from the scan is in a large size. Drag the slider or use the stepper to set the ratio from 0 to 99. The default is 0, indicating no simplification.	Over-simplification will result in the loss of data details, multiple simplifications are not superimposed, and are simplified on the original data. Click to reset the value to default. 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 use the stepper to set the ratio from 0 to 100. The default value is 0, indicating no optimization.	The optimization duration varies depending on the amount of data, multiple optimizations are not superimposed, and are optimized on the original data. Click to reset the value to default. 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 use the stepper to set the ratio from 0 to 100. The default value is 0, indicating no smooth.	Multiple smooth is not superimposed, and are smoothed on the original data. Click to reset the value to default. Click Preview to preview. Click Confirm to confirm and save. This action is irreversible. Click Cancel to restore and exit.

Optimization options	Description	Note
Remove Small Floating Parts	Remove small floating parts isolated from the main data. Drag the slider or use the stepper to adjust the area of floating parts to be removed. The default value is 10, and the range is 0 ~ 1000 (0 indicates no removal).	Click to reset the value to default. 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 and entering the perimeter, the holes within the specified perimeter will be filled automatically. The default value is 80, and the range is 10 ~ 100000. Hole filling types:	Click to reset the value to default. Click Preview to preview. Click Confirm to confirm and save. This action is irreversible. Click Cancel to restore and exit.
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, including Curvature, Tangent or Flat, and then click the edges to perform filling actions. You can delete unwanted neighboring areas to delete edge noise data; the default value is 3, and the range is 0 ~ 10 (0 indicates no neighboring area deleted).	The post-processing data needs to be saved manually. Click to reset the value to default. Click Confirm to confirm and save. This action is irreversible. Click Cancel to restore and exit.

Optimization options	Description	Note
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.	Default is to flip the entire dataset if no flip areas is selected. Click Preview to preview. Click Confirm to confirm and save. This action is irreversible. Click Cancel to restore and exit.
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, switch the selection area through the Reverse Selection button 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 restore 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 the data will be reproduced axisymmetrically with this line; you can tick to Keep the initial mesh.	Click Preview to preview. Click Confirm to confirm and save. This action is irreversible. Click Cancel to restore and exit.

Optimization options	Description	Note
Zoom	Adjust the scaling ratio of the model, but it will not reduce the number of triangular slices and the size of the data. The default value is 100, indicating no zoom.	Click to reset the value to default. Click Preview to preview. Click Confirm to confirm and save. This action is irreversible. Click Cancel to restore and exit.

Data Editing Toolbar

Icon	Function	Description
	Select through	To select data all through.
	Select visible	To select data on the front view only.

Note

For other editing functions, please refer to data editing.

Side Function Bar

Icon	Function	Description
	Open file	Open a file (STL, OBJ, PLY) for post processing.
	Export the scan	: Save the scanned data in the specified format (ASC, STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF) locally. : If you have installed the EXModel software and you are in the post-processing or measurement interface with mesh data, click this button to start up the software and import the data into it.
	Share your scan	Use your Sketchfab account to share the model.
	Third-party software	Save the data and open with third-party software.
	Model display	After enabling the model display by clicking the icon or pressing F12, the model will rotate at a specified speed (Click to adjust the rotate speed; 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.

Context Menu

Function	Description
Select Through	To select data all through.
Select Visible	To select visible data on the front view only.
Switching the Display Type	You can select different display types (triangles, wireframe, point cloud data as well as triangles and wireframes) and the data display mode of the 3D scene will change synchronously after switching. Note It is accessible after clicking Preview during meshing.
