Aligns a scanned source mesh (from some area of an object) to a destination mesh (or surface) by specifying regions where the data matches on both.
This is useful for updating a digital model based on scan data, after the physical objects have been modified in some areas, and rescanned.
Upper limit for the acceptable deviation between source mesh and target(s). Regions of the source mesh where the deviation is smaller than this value are colored in green.
Where the value of the deviation is between the Acceptable Distance and the Ramp Distance, the surfaces display intermediate colors as shown on the ramp.
The Acceptable Distance also affects the stopping criteria when matching the source mesh to the destination.
Choose High, Medium, or Low to specify the degree to which overhangs (that is, regions of the source mesh that extend past the destination) are included in the calculations.
If you select Do not change, only the overlapping surface regions are sampled; overhangs are excluded.
In summary, High includes the most overhangs, while Do not change includes the least.
Choose High, Medium, or Low to specify the degree to which local features (for example dips, or bumps) are taken into account in the calculations when positioning the source mesh.
A value of Low helps discard regions where the source mesh or destination presents some dips or bumps that do not have an equivalent on the other.
