there s a 3rd way to do a full arch, if indeed you have NO palatal data to match. which i find not hard to believe, but hard to forgive.
instead of transferring the waxup, you can make an incisal index. basically on the opposing make a matrix out of your putty or playdough, and affix it to your antagonist ensuring the matrix covers at least 1 mm of the incisal tips of the waxup. scan this WHOLE OBJECT as your antagonist. you can then proceed building the case, however you will need to custom form each of your teeth and your antagonist will no longer be suitable for use in the Virtual Articulation. but i'm guessing with a full arch case you probably don't want to use this feature of the 3shape in the first place.
what you do when duplicating the waxup over your working model is best termed "double preparation scan" which is actually what 3shape calls it.
i'd really love to see some photos of this impossible case.
