Importing scans

“

- [Instructor] Now we're ready to import our first scans, so we'll go back to the top and choose our next tab, import. Now from here, you'll be tempted to choose import scans, but that won't actually work. We'll have to go to Windows Explorer and drag in our scans manually. So here under Windows Explorer, under the exercise file folder, raw scans, we have five individual scans. We'll click and drag to highlight those, and then we'll click and drag those into this structure window. Back in the software, it lets us know that that was successful. We imported five files, and there are the names. And click okay. Now, it's time to start processing these so that we can actually see the data. Right now, these files are in a raw format and the software can't use them without putting them through some sort of pre-processing.
