How ToMatterport WorkshopPro2ScansTipsTrimming

Any suggestions to trim a scan after capture?13412

Hello, I would appreciate any advice offered.
I have captured a scene without properly trimming during the capture. I only noticed this after having uploaded the scene. I tried duplicating the scene and then adding the trim marks and re-uploading but it didn't have any effect.

I have lots of artifacts and the captured outside street space of the adjacent building in the capture. Please can someone suggest how I might clean up this model after the fact as it is now no longer possible to re-capture this scene.

The scene in question is below:


You can see here how I attempted to trim off the model:




Any help appreciated!

The bottom "remove" line doesn't intersect the other... be sure they intersect.
I don't see any other issues.

Try making the trim line on the Left side much longer.

Also... what marking is in that doorway under the trimline you had there facing inside? I don't see why that marking, whatever it is, would be necessary. It's not a window or mirror there.

Also... do you want that one scan by the door that shows you and someone else? That scan is responsible for most of the "overspray"

Thank you for your kind advice. I followed both of your suggestions and indeed it cleaned up my model. This has been quite a good learning experience in how you can effectively clip a model after capture.
The lesson I've learned is that the trim lines must extend as far as the spray and overlap.

Just for completion, the below image is what resulted in a clean model



Here is the properly clipped model:

The markings look better.
