I am having an issue with Revo Scan manual alignment ignoring markers and attempting to align by features.
Relevant details
Scanner: Miraco
Revo Scan: 5.5.3 and 5.5.4
OS: Win 11 Pro
Issue: The tool ignores the placement of the manual markers and attempts to align the surface with the face and then the markers, but by so doing, creates a mirror image of the markers and flips the direction as can be seen in the picture below.
Efforts to debug and resolve:
-I have tried to make the spacing of the markers non-periodic
-I have tried to place the markers just poorly
-I have tried to place the markers more precisely
-I have tried to add more markers rather than the minimum of 3
-I have tried restarting the program
Despite all this, it still wants to prefer alignment to the surface rather than the markers. Any thoughts on this?
The placement of the point markers are wrong , because the element need to be on both parts and have proper overlap
What you can do here , try to select first the bottom as first and then top as second . And try again
If it don’t works there is nothing you can do , not enough features on both scan to match the merge .
In this case only manual merge would works but this function is currently not available .
You can do it in Cloud Compare , it is s free software that allows you to manually adjust the both scans .
CC do have also merge function but with this scans you will get not much either .
I recommend you place a mini color dots on the object on both sides and scan using RGB mode , you will be able to export Point Cloud with color data that will be your guide to perfect marker placement in Cloud Compare and the best result with any featureless objects.
You did everything correct but sadly the software lacking RGB preview or manual adjusting under merge tab to perform that style of merging as that would be your only solution here to get precise results and not hoping to get lucky.
Cloud Compared is free and there is lots of tutorials on YouTube to follow.
The element is present on both, albeit small. This is indeed an issue with the sofware, not the marker placement. I was able to go into MeshLab and align them without issue.
Hi Adam, you can check the same points in Cloud Compare and see how much error it gives you for full clarification.
( Error between marker A to marker B )
Your object is little problematic in nature so simply eyeballing the marker placement is a case of a luck.
Now we need manual merge function ASAP that would make things much easier .
