3D Editor
Compare a scan with a model in Deviation mode
Inspect live signed variance, set tolerance, choose reference models, and mark observations.
Before you start
Open a scene with a scan and a reference model in the desktop Editor.
Who can do this
Members with desktop Editor access; changing comparison settings or adding markers needs annotation access.
Steps
- Exit any active POI, then choose Deviation in the mode toolbar.
- Set Tolerance, display unit, and Maximum distance in the Live variance panel.
- Use All visible models or select individual reference models. Adjust Reference opacity to inspect the comparison.
- Wait for the processed-points count to advance. Choose Add marker to record an observation at a location, then save.
What you should see
A color comparison shows signed scan-to-model difference and any added marker appears in the scene.
If something goes wrong
- Deviation is unavailable inside a POI; exit the POI first.
- If no models are loaded or the comparison reports degraded status, check visible model assets and the displayed status message.
