• Practice viewpoint manipulation and examine several scans from both
ScanWorld 1 and ScanWorld 2. Close the Scan viewers when finished.
The Scans folder contains all scans taken from one scan position, or ScanWorld. The scan objects
serve as an archive of the scans acquired and cannot be modified, only viewed. They can,
however, via the Navigator , be renamed or deleted. We will see in a next section how we can
reference the scan data and modify it as well.
6.3 ModelSpaces
So far, we have been able to view the images and scans taken from our scanner positions,
ScanWorld 1 and ScanWorld 2. But how do we modify and query the data we have acquired?
We are able to view, modify, model, and query data in ModelSpaces.

ModelSpaces can be opened and modified via ModelSpace Views . ModelSpace Views are where
all of the modelling work is done. Note that ModelSpace Views are below the parent ModelSpace
in the Navigator hierarchy.
ModelSpace Views are simply a means by which we can edit, model, and query the scan data,
and save certain viewing settings. The settings that can be saved in a ModelSpace View can
include but is not limited to layers, object visibility, user coordinate systems, and saved
viewpoints. When a ModelSpace View is modified and then closed, all modifications are saved
automatically.
