5. Find the line “<add key=”DisplayPointLimit” value=”3500000” />”. The number is

the number points the software will display. The default is 3.5 million points.

6. Change “3500000” to a lower number (i.e. “1500000”. The range of usable display

information is from a low of 1 million points (1000000) to a high of 5 million points

(5000000).

7. Save the changes to the file, close the Config file and relaunch the MF software.

8. Open your point cloud files, mesh and combine using the new settings.

For a graphics card issue, we recommend users ensure they have the latest drivers

installed on their respective computers. Find the manufacturer of the graphics card

and search for the brand name and “graphics card driver” on Google to find the

manufacturer’s website. Download the driver update directly from their site.

Mesh Appears Wrinkled

After completing a scan and attempting to mesh the point cloud, the vertical strands

of points that comprise all point clouds could be visible on the mesh. Or, after

meshing, the object might appear wrinkled.

This can happen when the octree depth is set too high relative to the quality of scan

that was captured. In other words, a low quality scan typically doesn’t result in a

great mesh, regardless of how high the octree depth is set. As a consequence, it may

be better to set the octree depth and/or degree settings lower to yield a mesh with

less ripples.

Wrinkled Mesh

Octree Depth: 9

Degree: 4

Note the orange peel-like surface.

Smooth Mesh

Octree Depth: 7

Degree: 3

While lacking crisp edges, this mesh is smoother.
