Q1: What is the purpose of the Distance Compare function in MeshInspector?
A: The Distance Compare function in MeshInspector serves the purpose of visualizing and analyzing the differences between two mesh models, aiding in quality assurance and precision assessment.
Q2: How do I align the CAD and scan models in MeshInspector?
A: You can align the models manually by navigating to the 'Transform' tab, selecting both models and using the 'Align Manually' tool with 'Auto Adjust Registration' enabled. Choose 3 points on each model in approximately the same locations.
Q3: What steps are involved in preparing scan data for quality inspection in MeshInspector?
A: Scan data can be prepared for quality inspection by converting it into a mesh. Navigate to the 'Points' tab, choose the point cloud model, and click on the 'Triangulate' button.
Q4: How can I access the Distance Compare function in MeshInspector?
A: To access the Distance Compare function, navigate to the "Inspect" tab within MeshInspector and activate the "Distance Compare" feature.
Q5: What does the "Set Zero to Green" option do in the Distance Compare function?
A: Enabling the "Set Zero to Green" option in the Distance Compare function helps provide a clearer visualization, with zero differences displayed in green for improved analysis.
Q6: What role does the Min/Max value step play in the Distance Compare function?
A: The Min/Max value step in the Distance Compare function allows users to control the sensitivity of the analysis, making it possible to identify even minor differences between the two mesh models.
Q7: Is it possible to swap the models in the Distance Compare function?
A: Yes, you can swap the models to exchange the reference object and the compare object, providing flexibility in your analysis.
Q8: What insights can I gain from the Statistics tab in MeshInspector?
A: The Statistics tab in MeshInspector provides valuable information, including minimum and maximum distance measurements between meshes, as well as average distance statistics, aiding in precise analysis.
Q9: How can I save and share the results of my analysis in MeshInspector?
A: You can download a detailed report of your analysis as a PDF file, which can be easily shared with your team for collaborative assessment and decision-making.
Q10: What additional feature can be used if the model has holes or other issues after triangulation?
A6: If the model has imperfections, you can utilize the 'Mesh Healer' feature in the 'Mesh' tab to address minor issues and ensure a more precise model.
