Dear ShapeWorks Users and Developers,

I am quite excited to have the new mesh based implementation in ShapeWorks 5.5 and have been playing around with the use cases, as well as with my own data and find it to be working quite well.  However, I am having issues with the surface reconstruction from Studio. When I try to reconstruct the surfaces from either my data or a use case, I receive an error of ‘Reconstruction failed!’.

Per the user wiki, it seems that it is necessary to have a DT to create a surface reconstruction. If this is true, what is the best way to generate surface reconstructions when using the mesh based approach? It seems quite non-intuitive to require a DT volume for this, given that the shape model is based on a mesh. If a DT is not required, I appreciate any ideas for how to troubleshoot this error given the non-descript error message.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Penny
