Mesherstellung

Nach dem Scannen und der Ausrichtung der Objekte, sind die Scanbilder ins Meshformat zu konvertieren.

Diese Konversion ist notwendig, weil die erfassten Bilder softwarespezifisch sind, während das Meshformat das Teilen von Informationen mit anderen Softwares ermöglicht.

Im Wizard erstellt die Software nach der Projektüberprüfung alle notwendigen Meshes.

Wenn man an einem Strukturprojekt ohne geleitetem Prozess arbeitet:

1. Select from the project tree all the objects to be converted into meshes
2. Click on the Mesh Generation button in the Main Toolbar

The software will then convert all the selected objects using the strategy relative ton each item.

What to generate

Not all the acquired data needs to be converted. In a project, there are two different types of acquired data:

• Acquisitions that only function as a position reference to align all the other elements (E.g. full arch acquisition of a sectioned jaw, articulation acquisition of a 2 jaws project, etc.)
• Specific acquisitions that will be aligned to a reference (E.g. every die acquisition, waxup acquisition, gingiva acquisition, etc.)

Only the second category of acquisitions needs to be converted. The acquisitions that only function as a position reference are best kept unconverted in case other objects need to be scanned and aligned to the same reference.
