    Holes are a particular problem with scanning, if the scanner has no visual on the bottom of the hole, it tries to connect the open end surfaces of that hole.
    one solution is to fill the holes to s certain depth, so you can adjust later in any CAD program.
    wax or wet paper towels balls help

    Sometimes when I do a free scan, the scan shows not a smooth surface but lots of ridges or broken up surfaces,
    I just click on manual alignment, en remove that particular scan, and rescan that part.

    But don't forget, you sometimes need to prep the object for scanning, like filling holes, or make a stand to align it in a certain way.
    I use large matt black pins , black foam and polished perspex (glass) to hold to object, these are not seen by the scanner and removed when aligning.
