Pre-Scan Settings

After entering the scan preview interface, you can adjust scanning settings for the current project.

Note

After start scanning, you can adjust the camera view or the switch for data quality indicator & texture display, but you will not be allowed to readjust the advanced settings.

Camera View

Tapto enable camera view, it will show the black-and-white camera view and texture camera view (only shown when Acquire Texture is enabled).

  • Black-and-white camera:
    • Auto-brightness is enabled by default (only supported for the fast scan mode), and you can tap that button in the upper right corner to switch to manual mode, when you can tap on the slider on the left side of the camera view to manually adjust the camera brightness (1 ~ 8).
    • The red points in the camera view indicate over-exposure points; it is recommended that you adjust the camera brightness according to the display of over-exposure points to improve scan quality.

  • Texture camera:
    • Camera light adjustment is enabled by default, and you can tap on the slider on the left side of the camera view to manually adjust the brightness (1 ~ 10); you can tap to switch to the LED light adjustment (set as off by default), then you can tap on the slider on the left side of the camera view to manually adjust the brightness (0 ~ 5, 0 indicates the LED light is off), and when the brightness is not 0, the button status will change to .
    • Tapto enable auto white balance and enter the calibration process automatically; it is recommended that you first point the camera towards a white wall or a white area on the calibration board before performing white balance calculation.

Note

If it prompts that "Unable to collect data", please adjust the height of the camera.

Scanning Distance

Tap to enable the function for adjusting the scanning distance, and a fan-shaped slider and scan distance numerical prompt will appear:
● Drag the slider to adjust the scanning distance.
● Tap on the left side to exit this function.

Data Display Mode

Tap to expand the list on the right, and you can choose a data display mode:

  • : Data Quality Indicator; enabled by default for non-texture projects.
  • : Texture Display; only the project with acquired texture supports this switch, and is enabled by default.

Note

  • Go toAdvanced Settings > Acquire Texture to set the project in the texture-alignment mode.
  • You can enable only one of these two display modes; indicates that both modes are disabled.

Advanced Settings

Tapin the right-side function bar to open the Advanced Settings window, where you can preset the scanned model as Object or Portrait, and the corresponding Scan Configuration and Align Mode:

  • Scan Configuration > Acquire Texture: Enabled by default, and Texture alignment mode will be automatically enabled; if disabled, the texture alignment mode can not be used, and Texture overlay mode as well as texture mapping are also not available.
  • Align Mode:
    • Feature alignment1: Enabled by default; if enabled, will appear in the project information area in the upper left corner.
    • Texture alignment2: Disabled by default; if enabled, will appear in the project information area in the upper left corner.
    • Markers alignment3: Disabled by default; if enabled, will appear in the project information area in the upper left corner.

Note

  • At lease one alignment mode should be chosen; if none, feature alignment mode is enabled by default.
  • The feature alignment mode and texture alignment mode can be applied simultaneously:
    • For the fast scan mode, the markers alignment mode can be enabled additionally;
    • For the HD scan mode, when the markers alignment mode is enabled, other chosen alignment modes will be disabled automatically and can not be enabled.
  • For the HD scan mode, markers of 3 mm and 6 mm can be recognized; for the fast scan mode, only markers of 6 mm can be recognized.
  • If you switch the HD scan mode with markers alignment to fast scan mode, other advanced settings other than the markers alignment mode will be disabled; for other circumstances, all settings will not be modified.
  • For the fast scan mode, when the markers alignment mode is enabled, the brightness for the black-and-white camera can only be adjusted manually, and exposure function can not be used.
  • Scan Configuration
    • Acquire Texture: Enabled by default, and Texture alignment mode can be enabled, and Texture overlay mode as well as texture mapping are also available.
  • Align Mode:
    • Feature alignment1: Enabled by default; if enabled, will appear in the project information area in the upper left corner.
    • Texture alignment2: Disabled by default; if enabled, will appear in the project information area in the upper left corner.

Note

  • At lease one alignment mode should be chosen.
  • The feature alignment mode and texture alignment mode can be applied simultaneously.
  • If you switch the object scan mode with markers alignment to portrait scan mode, the feature alignment mode will be enabled automatically.

  1. Automatically complete the alignment by the surface geometric features of the object to be scanned. It is suitable for objects that cannot place markers and have rich surface features. ↩↩

  2. Texture alignment is a technique that utilizes the surface texture features of the scanned object to automatically complete the alignment and merging process. It is suitable for objects with rich surface patterns but lacking intricate and varied geometric features. ↩↩

  3. Automatic alignment can be achieved by using markers attached to the surface of the scanned object. It is suitable for objects with limited geometric features or for scenarios that require high accuracy. ↩
