Looking for a good overlap detection tutorial (not just the documentation).
I understand what it does in theory, but unlike the other forum descriptions I’ve seen, overlap detection doesn’t auto-update settings to a new vertical distance each time I click it. It stays at the same vertical distance (which is what the official documentation would make me think it does).
Also, the max distance often doesn’t allow the mis-aligned frames to be separated, I often have to go in and manually select areas to delete.
Is this all correct? And any good tutorials or videos showing this process the whole way?
Yes, currently the Vertical Distance needs to be manually adjusted by the user based on the overlap of the object. To clean up incorrect frames, users need to manually edit the frames, which is correct. We don’t yet have a systematic tutorial video to demonstrate the “Overlap Detection” feature, as it is relatively simple.
We will see what we can do regarding tutorial videos. What aspects would you like us to focus on in the video?
Okay, any advice about how to manually adjust? Is the idea just to adjust and undo until it looks correct and doesn’t remove unwanted parts? And is it expected any height difference bigger than the max slider must be cut out manually? If that’s the case, then you’re right maybe a tutorial is not necessary. Thank you!
You starting from the lowest settings and you get up until there are no more overlapped points .
Just move the slider from lower to upper settings slowly
It will detect the overlapped points and clean them , not much more to it and a simple task. Just practice with it and learn as you go based on your results on the screen.
Overlapped points do not remove frames, it only remove single points that don’t belongs to the main scan that are closest to it , not confusing with lose points function, as lose points remove parts from the main scan if it is not attached to the main scan .
Both of the functions are very helpful but not guarantee complete clean in all situations, it depends if the scan quality .
In cases where the cleaning is much harder to archive you can use Cloud Compare .
You can check this tutorial for Cloud Compare to expand your editing skills .
And please if you have issues cleaning points or are not as advanced , use the Advances mode for fusion to avoid issues to the limits .
That what the mode was made for , it will not produce less detailed scan results
