How to change Find_Noms Preference for SCANS

I'm performing a Find_Noms Scan and while executing it, I got the good ol' error asking me to adjust my tolerance. I mistakenly told it to delete the hits that didnt meet the tolerance: How can I undo this? now whenever I run the feature it will delete a *** ton of points.

Furthermore, isn't there a better way to check a profile than Find Noms scans? This seems a silly concept to me, since this makes nominals change slightly between executions AND if you have a thin feature you're scanning I don't understand how you can account for ACTUAL deviation in the tolerance without risking piercing the wrong surface.

    I think if you go back into the scan dialog and regenerate the scan it will reset it.

    I think if you want to fix your nominals you can select Nominal (instead of find noms), I'm not 100% on this but you may need to execute it offline first to 'fix' the nominals.

    Alternatively you can use find noms, but tick the 'Only selected' tickbox and it will only compare against the surfaces you selected when you created the scan.
