Locked cluster Behavior

The relative position of scans within a locked cluster won’t change. However, the entire cluster will be moved to be registered against external scans or clusters.

A locked cluster is not flexible, i.e., you can translate and rotate the entire cluster, but you cannot change its shape or internal geometry.

You should lock clusters after you have finished the registration. Otherwise, SCENE will consider the registration as not verified. If this happens, you can, of course, simply run the verification procedure. When this procedure is finished successfully, all clusters will be locked.

Unlocked Cluster Behavior

The relative positions of scans within an unlocked cluster as well as the cluster position will be modified to be registered against external scans or clusters.

An unlocked cluster is flexible, i.e., you can translate and rotate the entire cluster, and you can also change its shape and internal geometry.
