 ==== Occipital Structure 3D scanner ====
-Cleaning up a 3D scan with Meshmixer is easy, but use [[3d_modeling:blender:clean_up_occipital_3d_scan|Blender]] for a more manual procedure with more control.
+Cleaning up a 3D scan with Meshmixer is easy. Alternatively use [[3d_modeling:blender:clean_up_occipital_3d_scan|Blender]] for a more manual procedure with more control.
+=== Prepare model ===
   - Import & orient the model upright: ''Edit > Transform''.
   - Cut away unwanted geometry: ''Edit > Plane Cut''.

-If you see a striped texture, the inside of the model is on the outside. Fix this by Edit > Make Solid (Crank up Solid Accuracy and Mesh Density a little bit).
+=== Join disconnected sections ===
+  - Join the disconnected sections (blue lines indicate boundaries): ''Edit > Close Cracks''.

+=== Delete loose parts ===
+  - In ''Select'' mode, click anywhere on the part you want to keep.
+  - Expand the selection to all connected vertices: ''e''.
+  - Invert the selection: ''i''.
+  - Delete the loose parts: ''x''.
+{{:3d_modeling:meshmixer:meshmixer_occipital_cleanup_03_delete-loose_arrows.jpg|}}
+  - Save your project(!)
+=== Make the model 3D print ready ===
+  - Make the mesh solid: ''Edit > Make Solid''.
+      - Set the solid type to ''Accurate''
+      - Increase Solid Accuracy and Mesh Density until you're happy with the result. Press Accept.
