Change Colors for Pre/Double Prep?

[Sarah Downs]

Hey all: quick question. In the scan software for 3Shape, the Double Prep is pink, and the Pre-Prep/Waxup is blue. Once it's in the design software, though, they're both blue. We have a case with some finicky alignment with the the tissue and it's much easier to get it aligned in the design software than it is in the scan software, but it's hard to see when both models are blue (since we're trying to get the tissue to line up on both prep scans, information which isn't there on the working model).

Anyway, long story short: is there a setting somewhere to change these colors in 3Shape, so it's easier to distinguish between the two?

Thanks!

Woof... that is a can of worms. I was worried that might be the only answer after going through the control panel and finding nothing. I might tinker with that somewhere down the road when I'm not worried about busting anything too vital. Thanks guys!

playing with that part of the control panel is not playing with anything vital.

thats one of the advantages of the 3shape control panel, it is segmented and compartmented so that unless you go through the whole thing and change tons of stuff, you really can't break it.

Just back it up first and then who cares what you change. Being able to change it back makes it trivial as long as you keep records of what you changed so you know how to do it next time.

Edit:
Perturb and Observe is a great way to understand a system that you are learning. I find it quite useful anyway. But that's how to know how to fix something that someone else goofs, you've done it and know how to undo it.

It doesn't matter much, as long as it's different from the pre-prep. Maybe pink? So it'll kinda match the double-prep in the scan software.

I'm sure I'll play with it down the road and make it any color I like. Make it chrome yellow just to mess with technicians opening it up one day, lol.

Set it to invisible/clear if you want to have fun with someone.
