Scanning with the ScanStation, ScanStation 2, and HDS3000 Merging Sub-Scans When creating a large scan, Cyclone creates a sub-scan each time it reaches a set increment of maximum cloud points per sub-scan (1.5 million points by default). This allows you to start manipulating point clouds efficiently as the remainder of the scan is being captured. After the full scan is complete, but before modeling or registration, the sub-scans should be merged. When working on a project that includes multiple large scans, it may be more efficient to merge subscans while subsequent scans are being captured, taking advantage of processing power not needed to carry out the scan. l To merge sub-scans: In the Navigator window, select the appropriate ScanWorld. Then select Merge Sub-Scans from the Tools menu. All sub-scans within the selected ScanWorld are combined. n To adjust the increment above which new sub-scans are created, use the Max # Points Per Sub-Scan preference in the Scan tab of the Edit Preferences dialog. 33
