Planmeca Chairside CAD/CAM solution 87
When Hide Model is activated on partial restorations, the
area that remains is the area that was designated as the
Selection Area.
Rotate the proposal. Depending on the designated
selection area, you may see holes. These are usually not
a deterrent to the design process. If desired, return to the
Margin
tab and edit the Selection Area.
Material thickness
To show /hide the material thickness indicators in the
Design
tab click Material Thickness.
When Material Thickness mode is active, the system
colours the proposal based upon material thickness at
each point on the restoration and displays a legend to
indicate the thickness associated with each colour.
The thickness shown represents the shortest distance to
the preparation (green line) and not necessarily the
vertical thickness at that point (red line).
