In this step, you apply major connector, meshes, and Slit gingiva in one step.
- Settings [1] See below. Allows you to choose parameters for the Mesh, the Connector, and the Split Gingiva.
- Create Checkboxes... [2], [3] and [4] allows you to un-check to disable Major connector, Mesh generation, and the Splint Gingiva in this tool.
- Preview [5] shows you the proposed result of the generation step using the current settings, without committing to the result
- Clear [6] clears the current major connector and mesh proposal
- Apply [7] commits the current major connector and mesh results to beige wax
- Cut view [8] displays a sectional view of your design
Cut view hotkeys Use the slider to change the slice position. Left mouse button to draw a ruler (press CTRL key for multiple rulers). Right mouse button to rotate the cut plane around Y. Right + left mouse buttons to move the cut plane in X and Y. Use the thumb wheel to zoom the cut plane. |
Settings
Mesh
- Pattern [1] Allows you to select from a number of hole patterns from a drop-down list.
- Hole Size [2] Sets the hole size for the mesh hole pattern. Alternatively, the hole size can be controlled by selecting and dragging the arrow of the mesh
- Mesh Wax [3] Sets the thickness of the mesh itself, beginning at the top of the relief wax
- Relief Wax [4] Sets the offset from the top of the refractory model to the bottom of the mesh
- Mesh Rim [5] Creates a rim around the mesh
- Fit inside part [6] forces the wax of the mesh connector after it's created to fit inside the gingiva
- Fit inset [7] amount of offset related to [6]
- Automatic Finish Line [8] uses the edge of the gingiva and converts it to a finish line
- Thickness and Width [9] controls the thickness and width of the finish line
- Use Defaults [10] reset to default values.
Connector
- Stipple [1] A drop-down list of stipple patterns to be applied to the surface of the major connector.
- Invert [2] Checkbox that inverts stipple pattern on apply.
- Scale [3] The horizontal scale for the stipple pattern. A larger value will expand the pattern to cover a larger area.
- Offset [4] The vertical thickness of the stipple, on top of the base thickness value. Adjust the depth of the stippling in the overall thickness of the major connector.
- Thickness [5] The vertical thickness of the major connector, not including stipple pattern thickness.
- Use Falloff [6] Checkbox so falloff can be completely disabled.
- Linear Falloff [7] The falloff angle is to be applied at the edges of the connector. A larger value will yield a smoother transition and a slightly wider major connector.
- Min falloff thickness [8] Minimum thickness
- Apply over existing wax [9] Activate the checkbox to place the connector on top of existing wax.
- Use Defaults [10] reset to default values.
Split Gingiva applies ONLY to Quick snap workflow
- To part [1] Which wax part to go to
- Mesh Interlock [2] how much bottom gingiva goes into the mesh, overlaps with the mesh
- Fit inside part [3] Prevent areas to be too thin
- Fit inset [4] Gingiva min. Thickness, of the gingiva after the subtraction. Amount of offset related to [3].
- Bottom Draft [5] retention mesh drafted insertion direction to pull in and out.
- Use Full Gingiva Base [6] an extension of the bottom to avoid touching the gingiva of the patient. Keep the gingiva and bottom away from the tissue.
- Min. Thickness [7] Minimum thickness
- Use defaults [8] reset to default values.
