Check Scan Preview:

After completing a scan, the Capture app automatically generates a preview. This preview is critical for assessing how well the scan aligns with the existing model. To review, click on the scan point in the space. If the scan is not aligned properly, click 'Delete Scan', redo the scan, and consider moving closer to the previous scan point to ensure optimal quality and alignment within your model.

Mark Mirrors:

  • When you see a mirror in the space , use the app's tools to mark mirrors.
