Blue Sky Plan Manual

For the purpose of producing a surgical guide, the program has a function for exporting the coordinates of implants on the basis of markers that are part of the scan appliance. It is necessary to first designate markers which are visible in the data. Open the panel with the coordinates of the export functions that is in the menu option "File > Export To > GPI Coordinates…"

In the coordinates export settings panel, select the corresponding type of scan appliance (1) and corresponding type of jaw (2). A schematic preview of the template currently selected can be displayed by clicking on the help button (3).

In the 3D window, view the model from above and adjust the display with the slider so the markers are clearly visible. Click button to activate marker display mode (4), and designate markers by clicking on them. The order in which the markers are designated must correspond to the order marked on the schematic template. If no order is prescribed then markers can be selected in any order. The markers can be designated in all available views and their position is automatically adjusted for the best fit.

If you make a mistake when entering a marker, the most recently entered point (5) or all points (6) can be removed by clicking the corresponding buttons or with a right click on a marker when the marker selection mode is active. The coordinates are actually exported when you click the "Create Report" button (7). For a license with a limited number of exports, the number of remaining exports is indicated on the button; the number of exports is only reduced by one each time the project is opened.
