Blue Sky Plan Manual

Blue Sky Plan® has a useful functionality that allows the user to register the STL files of the scan bodies present in the BSP parts catalog into the scan bodies visible in a scanned model. Blue Sky Plan® can convert the scan body (type of abutment that serves as a "post" at the time of the scan) into an actual abutment with an implant attached. Once the STL model with visible scan bodies is imported, clicking on the icon in the toolbar (while "Normal" or "Advanced" mode is active) opens a dialog for fitting the catalog scan body to the scanned model.

After choosing a scan body from the catalog, it can be placed by clicking on the head of the scanned abutment in the model – for the best fit position, it is good to click on the place illustrated by the red marker as shown in the catalog scan body preview. Once the scan body position is precisely defined, the window with implants pops up. After choosing the desired implant, the scan body and implant are automatically aligned together. Tooth can be added by clicking "Add Tooth" from the toolbar or by right clicking the scan body > Add Tooth. Another option for aligning a tooth is by right clicking the implant > Align > Align New Tooth. It is also possible to align either an existing or a new implant with the scan body by right clicking on the scan body and choosing the desired option from the drop-down menu.

Later on, the scan body position can also be refined manually using the common manipulation widget in the 3D view.
