Blue Sky Plan Manual

Blue Sky Plan software allows the user to select and remove part of the surface (model) and close any holes which have been created during the process. All the necessary tools are available in the Model Edit panel. Using the "Selection Brush" the user can select a part of the surface and remove it by pressing the "Cut Selected Area" button. This way the user can clean the surface from scattered parts or "extract" a tooth, for example. The selected area can be cleared by pressing the "Clear Selection" button. Removing parts of the model, however, will create a hole (or several). The "Holes Closing Tool" can be used to close them. The user can select and close one specific hole, or select and close all of them at once. All selected holes can also be deselected. Note: This tool is made for closing smaller and simpler holes. More complicated cases may take a long time. The model can be completely closed and repaired using the "Close Model" tool, which also creates a stone model with a base. Surface irregularities can be fixed using "Move Outlines", which can only be used in the orthogonal view (it doesn't work in the 3D view). "Add/Remove Material Brush" is used for the addition/removal of surface material. "Local Deform Brush" deforms the surface at a local point. For final modifications and polishing the surface of the closed hole, "Smoothing Brush" can be used. "Plane Cut" is used to cut a model by a cutting plane. The plane can be moved and rotated and the cutting direction can be inverted. The plane can be reset to the default horizontal position. Both parts of the cut model can be retained (a new Plane Cut remainder model will be created).
