How do you get rid of connectors when designing a full contour bridge?

Hello again Riley!
Couple of ways : If you did not freeform the case after merging it (which I suggest never doing because of this) simply deleted constructed parts (merged) then right click a connector, and choose delete connector
If you did freeform after merging it's mildly more difficult. I suggest if you absolutely do not want to lose your freeforming. Make sure your bridge is saved for 3D printing (Right click background - Merge & Save restoration - check box for 3d printing) then right click the bridge and choose to split bridge it. You can "split" the bridge with the flat of any of those options and get two designs out of it. It's an oddball work-around but it works. Just like the disc cutter though, you will have a very flat edge, a little space between them thanks to the cut as well.
Looking good though Riley! Glad you're hanging in there.

as user mentioned, in those situations its easiest to just reduce the size of the connector in the connector design step. super fast and easy and saves a ton of hassle with the editing of the final results.yes connected but without connectors. Just using the surface area of the contact areas.
Thanks Josh!!

Slap the OMFS. Then say a guide is cheaper than the reconstructive surgery that he'll need if this happens again.Hey y'all! Thanks for the connector tips! Working great
Now, How do you design an implant bridge case when the implant is right smack in the middle of the teeth?
