You come up with a workaround that sacrifices as little as possible. No software tool is perfect, in my experience.
In this case, I know that because he is scanning the part for the purposes of surfacing, he shouldn't be using PCDMIS at all. The PCDMIS Laser pointcloud is XYZ only, and not XYZIJK, as true reverse engineering software would be. So the pointcloud that we're coming up with isn't going to be sufficient to RE the part anyway.
Now...if we were, say...INSPECTING the part...
I would align to a single set of features, scan what I could, and save the program.
then i would move the Arm, re-align to the same set of features, Equate the old/new alignments, and continue scanning.
I would continue this process until I had scanned everything I could.
