Repairing Most Scans
Most scans you create using these software programs will have a mesh that
is mostly complete. However, these scans will usually have holes, junk, and
other issues that you will need to fix. If your scan is missing large areas of
mesh and has huge gaping holes or is just the front or relief of a building or
sculpture, see
“Repairing Relief Scans by Capping” (page 161)
