Hi, I noticed the generated mesh was watertight closed, which is often desired, but sometimes not when we want to handle single-sided geometry. Also, closing holes can hide geometry on meshes with concave areas. Is there a possibility to disable hole closing? Thanks.

  Hello Olivier,

  unfortunately it is not possible to turn this feature off.

  However, after the model is created you can use Advanced selection tools - Select marginal triangles, which selects the triangles that are enclosing the volume but are not part of the current reconstruction, and filter them afterwards.

  Thanks Zuzana, it would be great if this feature was proposed as optional in a future update.
