Is there a way to take a polygonal model and remove all verticies that are not connected to the main body? I scan mostly sheet metal parts and almost always have some of the table or fixture in the scan. I usually clean the model by doing an alignment, select data points compared to reference, then invert selection. This works pretty well unless I don't have a cad model. What I was wondering is if I can generate a polygonal model, then somehow remove the verticies that are not connected to the main body of the model.
I cant test this right now, but try this:
1. Spacebar
2. Shift + Left Click on main body
3. Choose "Island" from the drop down menu
4. Ctrl + I (Invert Selection)
5 Delete
(I forget when you use "Shift + Right Click" or "Shift + Left Click" which one selects verticies and one selects triangles)
I actually found that out shortly after I posted. Is there any way to do something similar in IMInspect? I really hate to clutter my workspace up with a IMAlign project, polygonal model, IMEdit project, and another polygonal model before I can even get it into IMInspect.
