Blue Sky Plan Manual

The mouse cursor changes to a cross when the dialog closes. The crown can then be positioned by clicking on the slice, and, if necessary, on the 3D visualization in any window. The crown is positioned in a vertical position according to the type of the simulated tooth and rotates with respect to the dental curve. It is up to the user to fine-tune its position. The tooth can be moved in all the windows. This is achieved by positioning the mouse on the tooth geometry, clicking the left mouse button, and dragging. The tooth always moves in the plane of the view. The tooth can also be rotated using the so-called draggers. These appear again when the mouse cursor is positioned on the tooth. The dragger can then be grabbed by clicking the left mouse button; the dragger changes color, and the tooth's rotation is modified by dragging.

The rotation point (the so-called Pivot) can either be in the center of the tooth geometry or at the beginning of the local coordinate system. This is located in the same place as the head of the aligned implant.

In the 3D view, the tooth can be dragged not only in the plane of the view but also along the axis of the tooth. As in the other views, it is necessary to move the cursor onto the tooth and display the draggers. The blue arrows above and below the tooth serve to shift it along the axis. We change the position of the tooth by moving the cursor to the arrow, clicking the left mouse button, and dragging. As for implants, three differently colored circles appear in the 3D view for rotating the tooth around the corresponding axes of the local coordinate system.

In addition to the position and rotation, the size of the crown can also be modified in the 3D view. Spheres displayed along the axis of the tooth serve to change the size. The size of the tooth can be changed by moving the cursor to it, clicking the left mouse button, and dragging.
