Difference reports and Brush size

james.h.s.brown — Wed, 01 Mar 2017 17:48:11 GMT

Hello I have just downloaded remake with the 15 day trial. I'm using it with 3d models created using occipital's structure sensor. I'm using it as a mock up to trial whether 3d scanning could be used in my company for quality inspections (does a part of complex geometry conform to the manufacturing cad model?).

However just doing some simple tests I've hit 2 problems.

When I try to export difference reports, all I get is a blank PNG with a scale on but no model
On some models even the smallest brush size on the sculpting tools is far too large, and changing the scale of the model doesn't help.

I've been unable to find any answers to these questions in the documentation so any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

James

Hi @james.h.s.brown,

Could you provide a detailed description of how you compare the models. Also please specify imported mesh file format as well as your system specs.

With regards to the brush size, did you saved your model after changing scale and unit?

Best,

Hello V

Many thanks for your response.

I am comparing the models as per the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61Esq8mdcVk After the very last stage shown in the video, there is now a button to export the "difference report", however this simply saves a PNG picture with scale but no model to my machine.

For both queries I am using both .obj and .stl models. With regards to brush size I have tried saving the models and reopening after changing the scale but to no effect. The brush size issue only occurs with my .obj imported scans.

Hi @james.h.s.brown,

I am also assuming you are using the latest Remake build, aren't you? Also, with regard to the meshes you are trying to compare, did you also save them as RCM?

Regarding the brush, i can only think that happens with OBJ as this particular file format does not retain any measure information, hence there is no way for Remake to make unit and size details available for the brush be resized accordingly.

However, i do not experience any trouble with Difference analysis. Do you mind to share your meshes so i can test them on my machine?

Cheers,
