WarningThis page documents exocad's software releases from 2023 on. See documentation for older versions




Attachment

The attachment feature is available in each free-forming step.

  • Start by choosing an attachment from the libraries provided by our partners.
  • Then click on the restoration to add the selected part to the restoration. By default, attachments will be added parallel to the restoration's insertion direction..

  • ATT 1 3.2.png


    • To add the chosen attachment select Add [1].


    • To subtract or boolean the attachment select Subtract [2]. It enables you to remove or cut out specified geometries from the restoration part.


    • Attachment Library and Type [3].


    • You can Move [4] by holding the left mouse button to drag the attachment.


    • Click on the Rotate [5] button to rotate it along the insertion axis.


    • Scaling [6] is also possible, but only for a few chosen attachments, as for most attachments the geometry shall not be changed.


    • Set the attachment direction [7] to the Top of the restoration, or the direction of the View or orthogonal to the Surface. When designing implant restorations, there are some more insertion axis options.


    • Check the Cut on gingiva [8] box if you desire to adapt the attachment to the gingiva and choose the desired distance. Positive values create a gap, while negative values lead to a specified intersection.


    • When clicking the Apply button, the attachment will be adapted to the gingiva and merged with the restoration. And you can Unload [9] currently placed attachment to work on a different reconstruction or hide it during regular free-forming.
    Tip Delete key has the same effect as Unload


    Parametric Design

    You have the possibility to create attachments with a Parametric Design (Extrusion) feature.

    ATT 2 3.2.png

  • Select the desired cross section from the drop-down box in the Profiles window. The chosen profile will be extruded along the view axis.
  • ATT 3.png

  • Each profile can be adjusted and designed with a couple of parameters.
  • If you would like to use the adjusted profile again, your profile can be saved
  • ATT 4.png

  • And loaded again later
  • ATT 5.png

  • To place, hold the left mouse button to drag.Unless you click Apply you may still change the attachment design, even if it has already been placed.
  • ATT 8 3.2.png

  • Parametric Design (Rotation) option, will rotate the profile around it's own axis. The same profiles are available as for the parametric extrusion.
  • ATT 6 3.2.png


    Text Attachment

  • You have the possibility to add Text to the restoration.
  • Type the desired text into the text field.
  • Place the text at the desired position.
  • You may use the sliders to adjust the size and thickness of the text.
  • ATT 7 3.2.png

    Among the provided libraries and the parametric design, you'll find in addition the possibility to import your own stl file.

    HotkeyUseful hotkeys are available in the "Attachment" mode.

    Once the attachment is placed by mouse click, you can move it by mouse. Hold SHIFT to move along insertion direction, Hold CTRL to rotate around insertion direction

    Hold CTRL+SHIFT to rotate freely].
