Processing mode is designed for simultaneous opening and processing of several projects. You can switch to Editor Mode from the program’s start window or from the main drop-down menu
In editor mode, all functions related to processing and measuring scan data are available, but adding meshes using the scanning method is not available.
Adding projects or individual meshes can be done from the start page menu or the drop-down menu through the Import or Open project loader buttons.
In Proccesing mode, quick opening of selected files using the “drag and drop” method is implemented.
You can add different projects or the same project multiple times, at any time, taking into account the operational capabilities of your personal PC.
The following file formats are available for import: *.scanproj, *.rv3d, *.sc3d, *.x, *.stl, *.obj, *.stp, *.step, *.off.

Everything added and created in Processing mode is stored only in the editor project. You can delete from a project in Processing mode by directly deleting the contents of the tree to the trash, without the risk of deleting from the original project.

In order not to lose the data of the original project, it is recommended to save the processing results before switching to Processing Mode.
To save changes made in Processing Mode, you can use the project saving functionality by clicking the Save button in the drop-down menu.
