Minimal Distance Between Two Points VS Minimal Distance Between Two Vertices?

Hey mates!

Can anyone help me understand the difference/what these two settings are controlling? I guess there is a relationship between the ‘Minimal distance between two points’ for a laser scan, and the quality of the capture from the scanner; but what is this exactly? Should I change this value to the exact accuracy of the scanner? 

Also what does the ‘Minimal distance between two vertices’ setting in Mesh Calculation actually affect? And how should I decide the right value here? 

Any help is greatly appreciated in solving these mysterious settings!

Cheers. 

Hi dylan,

are you aware of the tooltip explanation?

If so, which bit do you not understand?
