Watertight: Watertight means the model is fully sealed and there is not even a tiny gap on the model (so sealed that water could not enter inside the model).
Process
1. Click Mesh Model Button: When you are happy with the scan, click the ‘Mesh Model’ button to start creating a mesh.
2. Select Mesh Type: In the opening window, you will see two options; watertight model and unwatertight model. If you would like the software to process the mesh according to the point cloud from the captured data, you can select unwatertight model. If you select the watertight model, the software will create a watertight mesh by adding some information to the created point cloud. This process will fill any gaps that might be present in the model.
3. Select Detail Level: If you select a watertight model, you will be able to select the quality in the opening window. According to the final results you would like to get, you should select between high detail, medium detail, and low detail.
4. Make Mesh Operations (Optional): In the next window, you will be able to see the simplification, smooth and sharpen tools. Simplification is a process that decreases the number of polygons that create a model. In the simplification window, you can see how much your model will take space before and after simplification in stl and obj formats. Moreover, you can also see the number of polygons before and after simplification.
5. Re-mesh Model (Optional): If you want, you can go back and re-mesh the model by clicking the ‘Remesh Model’ button. By doing that, you will be able to reselect between watertight and unwatertight models and the detail you would like to get from watertight model.
6. Finish Mesh Model: When you are happy with the mesh model, you can move on to the saving process.
