13. The 3D scan cases we can not handle to upload for processing.
Your order can be on hold for some reason. For example, the scans have low quality related to the brightness ( too dark or bright) or scanning skills ( might be you miss and repeat some part of the room, or you stand too close to the objects/walls).
When your order can not process, we will send you an announcement to your email including what’s happening in it and suggestions for your case.
If you’re not sure about the quality of your scan, we recommend you to pre-send the scan to us via email [email protected], we will check if it can process or not. It’s the best way to save time for both of us.
14. What is the limit of a scan space?
There is no limit of dimension when scanning any place, but we recommend you to divide each floor of a building to scan. That will help you to avoid model error situations.
