27.10.1 Add Attachments

Attachments are added automatically through the predefined "Automatic Attachment Placement" in Preferences. The attachment are placed according to the clinician's instructions. To change the placement of the attachments, click on one of the three options: "Gingival Placement", "Mid Placement", or "Incisal Placement". This will only affect attachments that are positioned vertically.

Attachments can be added manually after right clicking on the tooth in the 3D view and selecting among several sets, shapes, and sizes. The attachment position can be fine-tuned manually.

If the user decides to go to the previous step to change teeth movement, the attachments for the current placement can be kept. This also works for the brackets.
