temporarily disable registration refinement

[mika_jahkola]

I use manual registration and spherical targets. After I have identified 3 or more common targets in adjacent scans, Recap tells it found a match, and then tells "refining registration.." Sometimes the refinement gets confused and arrives at a result significantly off. I suspect that the refinement has an iterative algorithm that does not always converge but occasionally diverges.
Sometimes the problem can be solved by removing a few scans from the registration group and re-registering in a different order, but not always.

I suggest a check box "disable refinement" to temporarily disable automatic refinement and get around the problem.

below photos exemplify the problem mentioned in mika's post.

targets were identified and preview shows good alignment...after refinement alignment was crazy off. Nothing i've done so far seems to fix this issue.

I am having the same issues. Adjacent hallway moved and twisted out of position, in one cluster. And long narrow Electrical Room moved and twisted on top of Mechanical Room in second Cluster. This all happened during Refining after approving merging the two clusters. Even in Rejecting the refinement process the clusters are not restored to previous scan cluster positions. This is happening to multiple projects with various CAD Operators derailing Scan projects for Construction in progress. David Koch, Tyson Foods Corp.

P.S. I have taken photos of my computer screen showing "we found a match" view, Rejecting Refinement Results, and after Refinement rejected.

I found that by clicking on review scan red or yellow view it pops up a full screen view to closer check point match before approving. This helps finding errors.
