1. A computer implemented method of facilitating generation of a digital representation of at least one physical object, the computer implemented method comprising: scanning, by a scanner, a first part of the at least one physical object to obtain image data corresponding to the first part of the at least one physical object, wherein the scanning of the first part is performed based on a first set of values for a set of parameters that control the scanning, wherein the image data corresponding to the first part is a digital representation of the first part; determining, with a processor, a size of the image data corresponding to the first part, wherein the size represents an amount of storage space required to store the image data corresponding to the first part; before scanning a second part of the at least one physical object, displaying information, to a user on a graphical user interface, indicating at least one of the size of the image data corresponding to the first part, and an estimate of a total size of image data corresponding to the at least one physical object based on the size of the image data corresponding to the first part; receiving, from the user, a second set of values for the set of parameters that control the scanning; and after displaying the information to the user and receiving the second set of values from the user, scanning, by the scanner, the second part of the at least one physical object to obtain image data corresponding to the second part of the at least one physical object, wherein scanning of the second part is performed based on the second set of values for the set of parameters, wherein the value of at least one of the parameters in the second set is different than in the first set, and a size of the image data corresponding to the second part depends on at least the value of the at least one parameter that is different in the second set, and the first and second parts are different portions of the at least one physical object, with the first part being one portion of the at least one physical object and the second part being a remaining portion of the at least one physical object.
