Scanning round objects

Hello All,

I’ve been working a reverse engineering project that has a lot of round parts with holes, cutout features, and flanges and was hoping that I could use the POP 2 to help with checking some of the features on these parts. Right off, there were problems. The biggest issue has been when trying to scan round parts, the scanning software just goes nuts and starts “spinning” the cloud model and completely loses all the hole features. Maybe its the size of the parts that’s issue? Some are like 10" in diameter and larger.

Add markers and use marker mode, or add objects around the “Object to be scanned” like Dodecahderon (Can be any object with features that the POP can see).
