Suggestions for improving the usability of Exstar Hub for Rockit.

  1. In the project table, use checkboxes to select which scans to use when creating the mesh and which to omit. Sometimes you take a lot of scans and don’t need to delete all of them; they may be useful in future operations.

  2. When scanning in hybrid IR mode, turn on the toggle to enable/disable texture processing. This texture isn’t always needed, but tracking is better in hybrid mode, so it’s used.

I will add to this list later, as I have experience with scanners from different manufacturers, and it would be useful to learn from their experience to stay one step ahead.

In addition to the above, it would be nice to be able to take several scans without forced processing after each one before starting the next one, and only then process them.
P.S. I’d also like to see “Zoom to Fit Screen” work correctly. Currently, when you press this button, the model “flies” off into the distance, although it should essentially fill the entire workspace, as in the second image.

I’d also like to disable that stupid message that stops the scan. This is just the beginning, and there’s plenty of free memory. Why limit the user if they want the processing to take a long time? It’s their right.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

  1. For the checkbox selection when creating the mesh — that’s a great idea. We’ll definitely take it into consideration and work on improving the overall workflow experience.
  2. Regarding the texture processing toggle — this is already in our roadmap, and we’re planning to support this feature in future updates.

Thanks for your feedback!

  1. Regarding taking several scans without forced processing — for now, there are no changes planned to the multi-project workflow. The current logic is designed to ensure each scan is properly processed and usable before moving on to the next one.
  2. As for “Zoom to Fit Screen”, multi-display support and “Zoom to Fit Screen” are both areas we’re continuously optimizing to better adapt to different setups.

Thanks for your feedback!
We’re still continuously refining the balance between memory usage and protection thresholds, and working to improve performance in this area.
