Scanning Live View

The system displays a model based upon the scan data. The Live View appears on the right and
the model builds on the left. Watch the model building on the left to see what information has
been captured and where you need to move the scanner.
An audio tone plays to indicate that the system is capturing data. The system changes the Live
View to orange and stops the audio feedback if you have moved too far and the system needs
data overlap.
Mute or change the volume on your laptop to change the audio feedback.

Note: The system assumes that the first scan is taken from the occlusal. Ensure the
first scan is taken at a 90 degree angle to the occlusal surface. If the first scan is not
optimal, delete it and retake it.
