[QUOTE="DAL Claxton, post: 323286, member: 22777"] Hello Mike! depending on the implant library, the fits can be drastically different. Basically, the implant companies do one of several things: They make the retention file the same size as the digital analog, or they make it slightly larger (as the retention file should be) This means that the fit can be different by up to .02 which is generally the offset they give when they make it correctly. If they don't make it correctly, the offset can be anything. With the release of Plovdiv though, when you make the model, you can change the offset just like you can with cut-out-dies. There's a horizontal offset you can set at the very bottom of the settings page. From what I've seen, almost all new downloaded implant libraries from the Exocad site have the correct lines of code to enable this. Just watch out for the Zimmer library, had some issues with it after installing. Library locations were pointing in the wrong place, some other programming was off, and the dig-analog/retention files were swapped. All causing crashes in Exocad. [/QUOTE]
