I get the following answer from Revo support. Am I the only one that prefers dots instead of tiles for scanned data manipulation?
“In Revo Metro, the visualization of raw scan data as points (dots) shape of the point cloud have been changed. The software displays raw data in its default style, which may appear as small tiles rather than individual points. There is no setting available in Revo Metro to switch the raw data display from tiles to dots.”
If you switch to the Orthogonal display mode, the cloud is displayed as dots, not tiles (I’m also annoyed by this new trend of displaying dots as tiles, and competitor was the first to do this with its 4th version).
This issue is my favorite example of weird arbitrary changes from version to version that should just be a setting (point display size, it’s not hard). The amount of extra clicking and mouse waving I’ve had to do because of the default and unchangeable way the interface works probably adds up to literal days of extra activity over the past 2+ years.
In my mind I have an image that the entire Revoscan line of software is made by one person that changes everything about it on a whim. We don’t all have the same monitor at the same distance and we don’t all have the same visual acuity. We don’t all have the same workflow. Let me customize something.
