Export

Export

É inútil adquirir, alinhar e converter dados se esta informação não pode ser enviada para outros softwares. As funções de exportação podem ser usadas para criar arquivos que podem ser importados em outros softwares.

OpticalRevEng Dental offers 2 different export types: Manual and Automatic. Manual exports can be used anytime and in any kind of project; Automatic exports are specific to a project. The automatic export's functions can be configured in the Options dialog.

Formatos

OpticalRevEng Dental suporta os seguintes formatos:

• Acquisitions
  • 'Scan' : this export function will create a file (.cri) for every 3D image taken by the scanner and an additional file (.scan) with a data description. It can be used only by OpticalRevEng Dental and all the files need to be kept together.
  • 'ZScan' : this export function saves the same information as the Scan export function, but compressing everything in one single file.
• Meshes
  • 'STL ASCII/Binary' : the STL file format is the most used. Most of the 3D software can read/save STL files. It does not save all the information of the 3D Objects. Colors and the connection between every single face are not saved so two different software can read the same STL file and show different results.
  • 'OFF ASCII' : the OFF format is a really simple file format as described here [OFF Format]. It keeps more information than the STL format.
  • 'PLY ASCII/Binary' : the PLY format, as the OFF format, can contain more information about the 3D data but is not so well supported by other software.
  • 'OBJ' : The OBJ format is only ASCII, it can keep the most information about the 3D data, even the color, and is compatible with most softwares.

Se for necessário o máximo de compatibilidade, o melhor formato para se usar é o STL. Se o objectivo for manter os dados em 3D mais precisos, o formato OBJ é o melhor.

Export Manual

Há duas maneiras de salvar as Aquisições e as Meshes em disco.

Exportação objeto único

Para exportar um único elemento do projeto:

1. Clique no botão direito do mouse sobre o elemento no Projeto Arvore
2. Selecione Export.. a partir do Contexto Menu
3. Na caixa de diálogo que aparecerá, selecione onde deseja salvar o arquivo, o nome e o formato dos dados.

Exportação de Múltiplos Objetos

Para exportar mais de um elemento do projeto no mesmo arquivo:

1. Selecione a partir da árvore do projeto todos os dados que devem ser exportados juntos
2. A partir da Menu Arquivo , selecione a funçãoExport Visível
3. Na caixa de diálogo que aparecerá, selecione onde deseja salvar o arquivo, o nome e o formato para os dados.

Exportação Automática

Para usar a função de exportação automática, clique no botão Exportar para CAD "botão" na Principal Barra de Ferramentas. O software, então, vai exportar todos os dados do projeto, de acordo com o projeto atual.

Exporter Profile

An exporter profile is a set of parameters that tells the software how to export the data for a specific Cad system.

You can modify, add or rename exporter profiles in the Options.

If you have only one profile called "default" it will be used automatically when you click the Export To CAD button.

If you have more than one profile, a pop up will ask you to select what profile you want to use.

If you keep pressed the Export Dialog will open and let you change the export profile only for that specific export.

Formats

The software exports 3d shapes of the acquired data, 2d images to document the articulation and can export a thumbnail for every 3d object.

In this section you can select which format to use.

Check with the cad system you use what format is better.

Options

Merge dies with healthy parts 

If this option is enabled the software will merge all the dies and the healthy parts and export only one file for the entire jaw, if it's disabled the software will export one file for every die and one file for the healthy parts of the jaw

Export implantPosition files 

If this option is enabled the software will export a special "implantPosition" file with the information about the alignment of an implant that can be imported by Exocad.

Cad Integration

Executable Path 

Here you can select the path to the Cad software to automatically start after the export of the data

Cad project extension 

Here you can put the extension of the Cad project so the software can invoke the cad with the right project file

Auto Start Cad 

Check this box if you want to start the Cad automatically after the export of the data

Auto Close Software 

Check this box if you want to automatically close the scan software after the export of the data

Export Path

This section let you choose where the exported files will be. There are 3 different path selections

Automatic 

The software will choose automatically the export folder. This can work in 2 ways. If you've selected a Cad project extension the file will be exported in the folder with the cad project if available. If no cad project extension is selected the file will be exported in the scan project folder

Ask 

The software will ask you for the export folder every time

Fixed Folder 

The software will export to the same folder every time.

If you check "Auto Open Export Folder" the software will automatically open the export folder after the export of the data

File Name Generator

This section let you choose how the software will name the exported files. There are 2 different generators

Default 

This generator will use the "Exocad" name format "projec name-reference jaw-item name-teeth.extension"

User Pattern 

This generator will let you choose how the name will be created using some special tag that will be replaced for every item

An example of a user pattern is "%m/%p/%d/%j-%k-%t"

In a project with 2 stump on the lower jaw and an antagonist the exporter will:

• Create a folder with the name of the doctor
• Create a sub-folder with the name of the patient
• Create a sub-folder with the actual date
• Save the stumps as lowerjaw-stump-36.stl and lowerhaw-stump-35.stl
• Save the healthy parts as lowerjaw-healthy.stl
• Save the antagonist as upperjaw.stl

Available In

Every export profile can work in one or more different kind of projects.

The checkboxes let you choose in which project this profile will be used.

Export Final Translation

Every system need to choose a reference in the space for the position of the objects. Our system use this reference:

• XY Plane as the Occlusion Plane.
• YZ plane as the Symmetric Plane.

This is the same reference system used by Exocad.

Many orthodontic software use the following reference:

• XZ Plane as the Occlusion Plane
• XY Plane as the Symmetric Plane

Here you can select the reference system used by you scan system and the exported file will be in the selected reference position.
