Drag in the desired rotation direction while holding CTRL.
To rotate the tooth chain, click a model tooth in the chain where you want to apply rotation.To move the tooth chain, click a model tooth in the chain and drag.Move, scale and rotate model teeth in a chain using the same functions as in the Simple tab when in Move mode. Tube: transforms all teeth on a fixed bow.There are three chain modes, represented by the three top buttons in the Chain Modetab: Clicking a red control point will unpin the tooth / placement disc again. When pinned, the control point appears in red and the tooth / placement disc will not be affectedīy movement/rotation/scaling actions. Placement discs mark the ends of the tooth chain.īy clicking the control points, which are present for every model tooth and the placement discs, you can pin positions of It is not available if you have copied teethĪs direct copies in the tooth anatomy generation step or if reduced pontics are present in your project. The chain mode is a useful function to arrange model teeth in multi-tooth bridges. Flatten the cusps or create a deeper shape for the posteriors as well as reshaping the anterior. Using the slider(s), you can apply natural tooth abrasion.Maintaining the minimum thickness works in combination with different morphing tools When moving a tooth, it will be modified in a way that minimum thickness is applied in real time. You can maintain the minimum thickness by selecting the corresponding button.Instant anatomic morphing deformation with antagonist : If you click and move/scale a tooth, DentalCAD will automatically adapt the tooth shape to the antagonist and create adequate contact areas.Instant anatomic morphing cutting with antagonist : If you click and move/scale a tooth, the intersections with the antagonist will be cut.The instant morphing free-form tool allows you to make basic shape changes during the tooth setup stage (e.g.Hold CTRL + SHIFT to scale in two directions.
Free axis selection scaling adds a visualization boundary which makes it easier to see the direction of the scaling.With CTRL + SHIFT you can scale two axes of the tooth simultaneously. Whilst holding down SHIFT, left-click to point and move towards the axis of a tooth that you want to scale. Tooth axis selection scaling allows intuitive direction based scaling.
