The actual positions of surfaces calculated during registration are stored in text ( XF) files. Technically, Artec Studio saves scans in the scanner’s coordinate system, but it displays them in a user-friendly manner by placing the origin at the center of mass. If for some reason you need to store a scan in the scanner’s coordinate system-in other words, with surfaces located at a distance from the origin that is equal to scanner’s operating range-clear the Apply transformations checkbox. By doing so, you instruct third-party applications to display surfaces in the same way that Artec Studio does: that is, with the origin at the center of mass. In most cases when you’re exporting a scan to a common 3D-graphics format, you should select the Apply transformations checkbox.
