Preparing 3D models

Incorrect

The application automatically tries to identify jaw type (upper or lower) according to the filename and 3D model orientation in framework when you add dentitions' 3D model. Application rotates model for correct displaying if necessary.

These modifications cannot affect future measurements and models' relative position (occlusion).

Once in a while the application can't correctly identify model orientation and you will be offered to do it manually.
Correct jaw type identification (upper or lower) directly depends on filename (see more in section "Loading 3D Models"). So, jaw type may be incorrectly identified automatically or you may be offered to set it manually.
If jaw type (upper/lower) is set incorrectly the application will take upper jaw model as lower one and vise versa. It will lead to quite evident consequences that you'll be able to see on viewing and merging models.
Incorrect orientation in framework will also be evident. You can check model orientation on 3D model thumbnail in patient's record and after opening in viewer.
Keep in mind that incorrect orientation in framework and wrong jaw types (upper and lower) won't allow you to take measurements properly.
Incorrect

You should return to patient's record to fix a problem. Tap and hold on thumbnail until context menu appears and select Rotate.
This will start special mode for 3D model orientation correction and jaw type identification (upper or lower) for each model.

You can see screenshots for this mode below. Brief guide for 3D model rotation is in the left part of the screen. Model can be rotated with buttons or simple

Identified as UPPER jaw:
Identified as LOWER jaw:
You can switch between upper and lower jaw models with "Upper" and "Lower" buttons. If you see lower jaw model when you tap "Upper" button, swap them tapping button with arrows.
Note the label on the top, in the navigation panel. It always states what jaw type is assigned to displayed model. Label repeats tapped button.
After all the corrections screens with upper and lower jaw should look like that:
UPPER jaw:
LOWER jaw:
Tap "Finish" to exit correction mode and confirm all changed. You will be offered to save changes in pop-up dialog, but all measurements on this 3D models WILL BE LOST if you do it. It's one of the reasons for correct aligning 3D models orientation and checking their type (upper/lower) before taking measurements.

You can cancel all changes picking "No". In this case nothing will be changed.
