A bit disappointed

With RC I was offered a difficult menu with several components.
In this example project, it was only one, but in my other projects, there were up to 5.
I don’t have any information about when several components are created and when not and why several components are created at all. Is this a bug or a feature?

Hello tw2016,
This is covered in the Using Components tutorial in the Help section of the software: ‘Component is a part of a model - a group of images aligned together. Sometimes you get more components after alignment. This may happen when your photo collection contains more than one disjoint object, object’s texture is weak, there are not enough images or the change in perspective is too high.’ So this is not a software bug…

I hit “Simplify Tool”, and I was asked to type my desired numbers of tris.
I typed 10.000.
Now I click the “simplify” button below this textbox.
Now what I see is this:

It seems that you chose a too low number, the program did just what you asked for.

Confused of what this is, I hit the “Normal Detail” button, hoping I do the right thing.
What I get is this:

Now you left the simplification process and started a new reconstruction.
