Blue Sky Plan Manual

The tangential view is located in the upper right-hand part of the application and is marked in green. It works in two modes. If no implant is active, it displays the view orthogonal to the cross-section view (tangential to the curve).

The plane displayed can be rotated with the slider in the tangential view window or by dragging the line displaying the intersection of the plane with the axial slice in the axial view window. The direction of view on the plane of the tangential slice is indicated in the axial view with a green triangle. If an implant is active, the view orients itself in a tangential position to the curve when switching to the implant. Nonetheless it does not display the perpendicular plane but rather the plane passing through the implant. In this mode the orientation of the plane is indicated not only in the axial view but also on the associated implant in the 3D window. If the implant is rotated in a different view, the plane displayed in the window automatically changes to the rotated plane of the implant. Thanks to the option of rotating the plane passing through the implant, it is possible to easily check and correct the tilt of the implant's position when viewing from any angle.
