Managing Scan Projects
(Home > Manage > Projects)
Before starting with your scan project you should map this project to the
controller software of the scanner by dividing the project into several appropriate
sub projects or clusters. For example, if you are scanning a multi-level building,
each floor of this building might represent a sub project or cluster of the scan
project „Office Building“. Each of these floors or sub projects might have further
sub projects, e.g. rooms. The structure of the scan project might then be like this:
- Office building
- Floor 1
- Room 1
- Room 2
- Room 3
- Floor 2
- Room 1
- Room 2
etc.
