Mesh Tools

Struttura

All'ultimo passaggio di un progetto vengono mostrate le mesh generate, che possono essere modificate o esportate.

L'interfaccia mostra l'immagine di tutte le mesh generate; la lista delle mesh generate, nell'angolo in alto a destra dell'interfaccia, da cui possono essere selezionati dei singoli file per modifica; una specifica barra degli strumenti.

La barra degli strumenti offre le seguenti opzioni:

Precedente

Torna al passaggio precedente. Icona non attiva durante il primo passaggio di scansione.

Modificare Mesh

Apre la pagina di modifica delle mesh che fornisce vari strumenti per migliorare la qualità delle mesh. Tutti questi strumenti saranno spiegati in dettaglio più avanti in questa pagina.

Esportare al CAD 

Esporta le immagini al CAD selezionato.

Esportare Visibile 

Esporta i file ad una cartella selezionata.

Successivo

Prosegue di un passaggio nel progetto. Questa icona non è disponibile trattandosi dell'ultimo passaggio della Modalità Guidata.

Strumenti per Mesh

Facendo click su diventa disponibile la barra degli strumenti modificare mesh. Gli strumenti di mesh sono generalmente applicati in modo automatico durante la generazione della mesh, raramente è necessario modificare ulteriormente le mesh.

Exit

Exits the Option section.

Selection Tools

Opens the selection tool panel in which it is possible to choose how to select part of the image. The available tools will be described later in this page.

Select Action

Opens the actions panel in which it is possible to choose what to do with the selected part of the image. The available actions will be described later in this page.

Fill Holes

Detects and filles one or more holes in a mesh. This option will be explained in detail later in this page.

Flip Normals

Flips the normals of the mesh inverting the upper surface with its bottom part. This tool is automatically performed in the impression and bite profiles.

Fix Mesh

Automatically detects and fixes the structural issues of a mesh, if there are any.

Smooth

Advanced tool to smooth and sharpen a mesh. This option will be explained in detail later in this page.

Decimate

Reduces the number of triangles of a mesh, and incidentally the weight of the generated STL file. This option will be explained in detail later in this page.

Accept

Accepts the changes and closes the option section.

Strumenti di selezione

Come mostrato nella GIF, questi strumenti permettono di selezionare parte dell'immagine per modificare l'oggetto. Sono disponibili quattro strumenti di selezione:

Rectangular Selection

Draws a rectangle that starts from the click point and grows following the mouse; to select, release the left mouse button.

Elliptical Selection

Draws an ellipse centered in the click point that grows following the mouse; to select, release the left mouse button.

Free Closed Line Selection

Click and hold the left mouse button to start drawing a line that follows the mouse. Release the left mouse button to close the line and select all the area inside its borders.

Polygonal Selection

Click in two different points to draw a line and a third point to create a polygon. Double click to close the polygon and select all the area inside its borders

Azioni

These actions allow to modify the selected information. The following actions are available:

Delete Selection (DEL) 

Deletes the currently selected data.

Crop Selection ( + K) 

Keeps only the selected data and removes all the rest.

Invert Selection ( + I) 

Selects all the data that is not selected and deselects the selected data.

Clear Selection ( + C) 

Deselects all the data.

Fill All Holes

This is an interactive tool that allows to fill the holes in the currently selected mesh.

As shown in the video, drag the bar to choose the size of the holes that need to be filled. The holes contour will turn red when they are selected. Click apply to accept and fill the selected holes.

Smooth

This tool smooths the whole surface of the mesh, compensating its irregularities, if there are any.

This tool applies two parameters:

Strenght

How much the tool can change the object surface. The higher the value the more the mesh is smoothed and sharpened.

Sensitivity

How many parts of the surface will be identified as 'Details' (margins, edges). The details parts will be sharpened, but not smoothed.

Decimate

This tool reduces the number of triangles in a mesh, to save more space, trying to preserve as much detail as possible.

It is possible to insert a percentage of triangles to be kept (For example 50% to halve the mesh size).

It is also possible to establish a tolerance value. If the tolerance is enabled, the software will stop the decimation when this would modify the mesh more than the tolerance parameter.

On the bottom of the dialog appears the initial number of triangles (or Faces) and the number of triangles after decimation.

Just click on Apply to see the result.
