Loading Your First Scan (and Sample Scans)

On your first load of RSET, you should get a pop-up indicating that your scan folder is empty with an option to download some Sample Scans to get you started. We'll use those sample scans in this brief tutorial on how to load a single scan.

Getting Sample Scans

If you did not get the Sample Scans, you can always access the option to Download them from Settings. From the RSET Main Menu, click "Settings" in the upper right corner, click the "Help" tab, and then click "Download" next to the "Download Sample Scan Pack" option:

Launching Scan Manager

Once you have some Sample Scans in your Documents/RSET_Scans folder, click on "Scan Manager" from the main menu. You should see something like this:

Loading a Sample Scan

1. Click +Scan in the upper left corner

2. Inside the file browser window, navigate to SampleScans/International Congress of Munich

3. Double-click the obj file (should be db7814ade2a34ceea8c33979df3cf85f.obj)

4. Wait for the file to load - it may look like it's stuck/delayed at ~ 8%, but fear not, this large, highly detailed model is loading in. Once complete, your screen will look like this:

Renaming a Scan

The scan is named the same as the .obj file by default. A lot of times, for Matterpaks especially, the scan name is a long alphanumeric string. You can click this name and change it. This action changes the RSET Metadata file associated with the scan and it will persist for the next time you load the scan.

Interacting with the Scan

• Use your Mouse Scroll-wheel to Zoom In and Out of the scan

• Use the View Panel in the bottom left to switch between camera views: Top, Right, or Front

• If you click the scan on the left, the Orientation Panel will show on the right.

  • NOTE: If you select multiple scans at once, the Orientation Panel will disappear, you can only change orientation for a single scan at a time.

  
• Changes to a scan orientation are saved to the metadata and preserved in-between loads of a scan

You can use these tools to load and align multiple scans together. Just make sure you double-check the alignment across multiple axes (top, front, right), as scans aligned from the top-down view may be mismatched vertically, which is only evident in the right/front views.

Congrats, you've loaded your first scan!
