Retract - Planmeca PlanScan User Manual

Retract

Use the Retract tool on STL export cases with a subgingival or equigingival margin. This tool
ditches the 3D model since the margin line does not convert to STL.
Without virtual ditching, the margin may be difficult for your recipient to see.
1 After the margin has been drawn and edited, click Retract.
The system virtually removes part of the model outside of the drawn margin.
2 Click Toggle Margin to view the ditched area without the margin. This is similar to what your
STL recipient will see.
3 Click Toggle Retraction to show/hide the virtual ditching.
42 Margin Tab
Note: ICE View is not converted to STL format and cannot be used as a visual aid
Margin drawn - No ditching
Note: Any changes to the margin will require the ditching to be redone. If you are
doing a multiple restoration case, finish all of the margin edits before using the
by the recipient of your case.
