Release date: 20.11.2025
Overview
This release introduces a powerful, dedicated scan editing workspace that provides comprehensive tools for precise scan orientation, anatomical landmark adjustments, and detailed mesh cleaning. Other important enhancements include streamlined automatic forefoot width fitting, the introduction of a new Save Project feature for seamless session management, and visual clarity improvements to the Zones tool.
Key Enhancements
1. Edit scan workspace
The Edit Scan workspace provides a new interface where the scan can be easily oriented using three points, the landmarks can also be adjusted if needed, and a range of scan cleaning functions is available. This is an extended version of the previous Edit Scan Orientation interface.
1.1 Orientation and landmarks
In this menu, the scan can be easily oriented by placing three points or fine-tuned manually. The automatically detected landmarks can also be adjusted, and the scan mode can be changed.
1.2 General clean
The General Clean tool includes two options: Automatic and Manual tools.
1.2.1 Automatic tools
Auto Clean automatically removes small mesh fragments, then rebuilds a watertight surface around the scan in several steps, gradually refining it to preserve the original shape and create a smooth final mesh.
The Foam Box Cleaner automatically trims away unnecessary mesh areas based on three points placed on the top surface of the foam, keeping only the parts needed for further editing.
1.2.2 Manual tools
The Manual tools include several functions for precise mesh cleanup:
Crop – removes unwanted mesh parts using an adjustable plane.
Small Object Filter – detects and deletes small, unnecessary fragments or background noise.
Smooth – evens out the surface of the scan.
Fill Holes – identifies and fills small gaps in the mesh.
Remesh – regenerates the mesh at an optimal resolution for further editing.
Additional Enhancements
2. Automatic forefoot width fitting
When fitting the insole to the scan, the forefoot width now automatically adjusts based on the distance between the MPJ landmarks, rather than being determined by the heel width as before.
3. Save project
From now on, the Save Project function allows saving all metadata into a JSON file, which includes all settings. This download is not considered an export and is therefore free to use. The JSON file can be loaded back using the Import Metadata function, allowing editing to continue seamlessly.
4. Warning before navigating away
A confirmation prompt has been added to prevent accidental navigation away from the Insole Editor. If any changes have been made, users will now be asked to confirm before closing the tab, going back, or refreshing the page.
5. Zones tool
The Zones tool allows you to define which parts of the insole should be exported as separate geometries. The zones are now shown in different colors, making it easy to see which are active or inactive. Users can choose which zones to export, and the feature is available as a separate tool, not only under “Lattice Insole”.
