Suggestion for Software Improvement

Dear Revopoint Support Team,

First, I want to express my appreciation for your exceptional products. I am a long-time user of your scanners, starting with the Miraco and now using the Metrox. I truly enjoy your software and the advanced capabilities it offers.

However, I have a suggestion that could greatly improve the user experience when editing scans. Currently, when selecting areas to remove, the selection tool also affects hidden or back-facing surfaces behind the selected area. This can make precise editing more challenging.

I would love to see an option or feature that allows users to paint or mark only visible areas for removal, without affecting surfaces behind them. This enhancement would provide greater control and make the editing process much more intuitive.

I’m a big fan of your work and look forward to seeing how your software continues to evolve. I hope this feedback is helpful and that you might consider implementing this improvement in future updates.

Thank you for your time and dedication!

Best regards,
LukĂĄĹĄ VĂĄvra

Hi!
Have you tried this icon (“select through”)?

no, I don’t understand the icon, how is it supposed to work? I don’t know if you understand what I’m describing.
it will pierce everything, why doesn’t it just do that one surface?


You have to select this icon


then it will just select the face you are looking at not the one behind it

Exactly the proper way Nick !

please, how do you work with it? whether I turn it on or off, the result is the same, I cut through all surfaces in that direction

Do you have the latest version? It has been occasionally broken is some releases.

version 5.5.2
is there somewhere to see a video of how the function works?

Well I have good news and bad news…

Good news: it works correctly in 5.6.3 (MetroX version)
Bad news: it doesn’t work in 5.5.2

Keeping track of quirks in two versions is going to be frustrating.

If you click on the icon and select it , only the normal that facing you , will be selected , if you unclick the icon both sides of the normal will be selected .

Nothing else to it , simple function.

Since there is a bug in RS 5.5.2

Use the Revo Scan MetroX version
As @TheBoatScans recommended already

Hello, thank you for the explanation, yes it works in the metrox version, thank you
