ScanAlign v0.1-alpha-1
Pre-release
Pre-release
ScanAlign Alpha v0.1 (build alpha-1) — a Windows desktop app that aligns raw 3D scans (OBJ · PLY · STL) to the world XYZ axes and origin, so they drop into Fusion 360 (or any CAD) clean, centered, and square.
Install
ScanAlign-Setup-0.1-alpha-1.exe— Windows installer (Start-menu shortcut, optional desktop icon, uninstaller).ScanAlign-0.1-alpha-1-win-x64-portable.zip— portable; unzip and runScanAlign.App.exe.
Both are self-contained (bundle the .NET 8 runtime — nothing else to install). Windows 10/11, x64.
What's in this build
- Mesh I/O for OBJ, PLY (ASCII + binary, vertex colors, point clouds), and STL (binary + ASCII).
- Alignment tools: 3-point plane, best-fit plane, 2-point / 2-hole line, point → origin, center → origin and center-to-center line (clustering-robust circle-fit), 3-2-1 fixturing, PCA auto, drop-to-floor.
- Targeting: snap-to plane/axis, origin placement, parallel vs on-axis, independent Flip X/Y/Z, secondary-axis picker for 3-2-1.
- Non-destructive alignment stack with undo/redo/reset/history; export with a provenance header.
Covered by 92 automated tests. This is an early alpha — expect rough edges, especially around picking precision. See KNOWN_ISSUES.md and the full changelog.
