Mesh License?

I am new to PC-DMIS with the 3D scanner. I am likely missing something simple here. 

How do you make a mesh instead of a point cloud? 
I can scan things as a mesh bit as soon as the file is saved and re-opened it reverts back to a very un-sexy point cloud. (the engineers like sexy mesh models) 

Google and the help file has said I just need to insert a mesh, which I do not have an option for?

This is what my HASP unlocks...

  • To get the mesh you would have to make a point cloud first. Out of that point cloud then you would create the mesh out of it by defining the settings based on your preference. I had to hide my model in order for the mesh to be clear and mess around with the settings until i got what i needed

    Thats what it looks like currently. I don't see anything relating to mesh, except on the actual scan widget.
