3D PDF

The bar design can be shown to others in a 3D PDF document.

Sending the bar design as a 3D PDF

To send a 3D PDF preview of the bar design:

Click Send a 3D PDF envelope .

Enter the sender's e-mail address, which is where the customer is expected to reply to.

Enter the recipient's e-mail address (one or many, separated by a comma or a semicolon ).

Enter a message in the message field.

Note

Information in the prescription window's details fields will also be added to the PDF document.

Click OK.

The design is saved and sent to the recipient's e-mail address in 3D PDF file format. The 3D PDF document allows for viewing the bar design in a manner similar to the bar module's 3D view.

3D PDF reference

The 3D PDF preview of the bar module situation contains textual information (extracted from the e-mail form and the situation's prescription fields) and the graphical 3D objects.

Note

Objects organization

The 3D image is composed of numerous layers of objects, organized as a tree in the PDF document.

The tree icon tube system reveals the object tree when clicked. After developing the model and the bar full arch nodes, the objects nodes are available for selection.
