Comparison function in Version 5 of the software

[olegator]

Greetings! I am currently testing out the demo version of HP 3D Scan v5 and I have come across this function, with which you can compare 2 objects. Below you can see a screenshot of a comparison between 2 different 3D-models of the same skullimplant. At first the comparison seems alright, but I am confused about the difference numbers. If you look at the colour scale, you see for example that the blue color represents regions with a positive deviation, but if I let the software tell me the exact deviation in that region, it shows me an inverted number, i.e. a negative number. Why is it so? Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you!

For positive deviation result is negative and vice versa, for negative deviation result is positive. If both results were positive or negative yuo could not say which result is part of whice deviation.
