hi when will you add posibility to edit global markers so that we can remove the markers used on the scanning plate for thin objects? in EXSTAR from Shining3d you can edit the global marker file and delete markers not on the object for scanning
Hi @Myklis2000 usually the markers are removed automatic while fusing , but you can use Lose point detection to remove them all automatic with 2 clicks , or use manual tools selecting the object , reverse selection and remove markers.
It takes the same time
i’m talking about using Global markers to cover an object on both sides of a thin object. place it upright on scanning table with markers all around to be able to capture both sides by scanning around the object, thus capturing markers on both sides. then you can in theory scan the part on one side laying flat then pause the scan (or add a new scan with same global markers imported) and flip the part and scan Side B ( this way you get "perfect alignment without manually trying to align or the auto function messes it up) i have achived this and working if i scan the part on a Table without markers to confuse the scanner with the global markers that was on the Turntable, the scanner then only sees the marker on the object and matches them with the global markers from before. i can then flip the part and the scanning software is scanning on Side B effortless, the only problem is that if i could edit the global markers like i can in Shining3d’s Software i could remove the markers that was on the turntable an leave only markers that is on the object for scanning. if i could do that i would be able to use the turntable with markers without the software been confused and thinking it is the “global markers”,

I don’t always desire the markers on the scanning plate of the turntable and in most all cases I use just black rubber to cover the top. Because other way you can’t turn that object while scanning if the markers are in the plate.
Anyway thanks for the deeper explanation. I am sure it is going to be more helpful for the team to evaluate your request.
yes. i basicly do that but to minimize markers on the object (only need 4-5 global markers on each side to make the software detect the which side you are scanning) but with that low number of markers it is harder to scan, and using markers on the turntable will help with that, but then the marker pattern on the turntable must not be part of the Global markers
