REVOPOINT / How-to & tips
A doubled edge or sudden patch of stray geometry is a reason to investigate the capture, not immediately hide it with a smoother mesh. First ask whether the problem belongs to a short segment, the whole arrangement or the join between separate scans.
The checklist below is an editorial review method for a desktop workflow. It does not promise that deleting data will repair every tracking or alignment fault.

1. Decide which problem you are looking at
Compare the questionable region with the physical object and neighbouring surfaces. A genuine seam can resemble a duplicate edge. Movement during capture, a poor reference arrangement and incorrect alignment can also produce different problems that look superficially similar.
If two separate scans are individually sound but do not join correctly, use the separate-scan alignment guide. Do not remove valid capture simply to conceal a join that needs a different solution.
2. Keep an untouched starting point
Preserve the original capture and make a clearly named working copy using the supported save or backup route for your version. Record the suspect area and the change you intend to test. Keep an image of the starting result if it helps you compare later.
Avoid changing several processing choices at once. A small, reversible test makes it easier to tell whether the suspected segment was responsible or whether the same problem remains elsewhere.
3. Inspect the relevant capture segment
In Revo Scan 6, Key Frames Edit works on raw data before fusion. It supports frame playback and deletion, plus selection of an unwanted model region to locate the corresponding capture data. Follow the current desktop manual for the exact controls.
Review the views immediately before and after the suspect area. Is the apparently bad segment also the only view of an underside or recess? If so, removing it may exchange an obvious defect for a less obvious gap. Keep that trade-off visible.
4. Compare the result and know when to recapture
After a targeted test, rebuild the working result and inspect the original problem from several angles. Check the neighbouring geometry as carefully as the area that now looks cleaner. Keep the same view and comparable processing choices for the before-and-after check.
If essential coverage is gone, broad surfaces remain doubled or you cannot explain the change, stop trying to polish the result. A controlled recapture of the affected area may be more useful than continuing with uncertain geometry. Keep the unresolved region labelled if it must be handed over.
