The snap functionality of the cross-sectional reslice varies in different modes:
— In implant or anchor pin mode, the cross-sectional reslice snaps to the main axis of an implant or anchor pin and is positioned in the center of the implant or anchor pin.
— In curve mode, the cross-sectional reslice snaps to the curve of the panoramic reslice.
To snap the cross-sectional reslice to an implant or anchor pin:
1. Click Snap Reslice in the Tools panel.
Alternatively, select Snap to implant on the dedicated Implant tab to snap the cross-sectional reslice to an implant, or Snap to anchor pin on the dedicated Anchor Pin tab to snap the cross-sectional reslice to an anchor pin.
Note
This action is disabled if the implant or anchor pin mode has already been activated or if there are no implants or anchor pins in the treatment plan.
2. The cross-sectional reslice is snapped to the selected implant or anchor pin and will rotate around its axis instead of following the arch of the jaw bone. If no implant or anchor pin is selected, the reslice is snapped to the most recently selected implant or anchor pin. If no implant or anchor pin has been selected yet, the reslice is snapped to the last planned implant or anchor pin.
Tip
When selecting another implant or anchor pin, the reslice automatically snaps to this new implant or anchor pin. If you wish to switch off this functionality you can do so in the general preferences. More information on this can be found here.
Note
When deleting the last implant in the scene, if the cross-sectional reslice was snapped to the implant, the cross-sectional reslice is automatically snapped to the curve.
