Could you members share information/tips on fine tuning, or "locking" in occlusal contact areas? How are you going about designing the occlusion on your crowns?

What do you mean by, 'locking in'? I just position my teeth as best as I can to the occlusal scheme be fore I get to free forming. At that point its just a matter of smoothing with the default tool or point of knife.

I do wish that we had a way to alter the area of influence with the free form tools. Any exocad developers are welcome to pm me.:)

I have clients that use different thicknesses of articulating film, and it would be nice to "lock" in a beginning point for each thickness level then refine from there in freeform.

I see what your saying, make a dossier of each client's specific settings to streamline the design and results.

I have been taking screen shots of the color scale for the 'distance to antagonist' trying to figure something like this out. For the clients I work closely with, I am pretty close, but the new guys are all over the p!ace. I don't have a real system to eliminate variables yet. Hopefully some other users will chime in, even if they are on the dark side.

I have been problems some days. I know it's weird. I start job as usual in DB, load the jaws, design, oclusion, connectors,... All the same as usual. But when i try the last step ( merge the mesh) EXO stops several secods later and don't make the merge, don't finish the job. Any idea? Somebody has suffer it too? Thanks.

If you have the box checked to always merge for laser sintering and there is a hole somewhere it won't merge. Just uncheck the box and it will merge everything fine. Unless it's for laser sintering then you'll need to figure out how to fix the hole but it won't matter if you're milling.

Hi guys,

I have a scanned bar and would like to use a wax up scan to produce a reduced superstructure on top of it... any tips on how to go about this? I am currently trying to use the reduced wax up but it does not seem to be working or adapting properly to the bar. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks in advance.
