What is the purpose of saving project files?

After scanning, you can save scan project files, point cloud project files, and mesh project files for data archiving to prevent data loss and facilitate further processing later.

Saving a scan project file allows you to recalculate starting from the real-time scanning stage; saving a point cloud project file enables you to regenerate the mesh from the point cloud stage; saving a mesh project file lets you reapply texture directly from the mesh stage.
