[QUOTE="DAL Claxton, post: 313828, member: 22777"] Hello again Riley! What you're looking at here is you're freeforming the Full anatomic instead of the reduced part, or vice versa. Exocad saves the initial design as full anatomic, then when you reduce it (or not) since it appears to be entered as a coping, it has the cut back area. This makes it so that if you need to change your cutback (say from full metal lingual to only the cingulum or 1/2 lingual) you can quickly change the area without changing the rest of the design. It's very possible that after you close this out, since you still have a merged restoration, that it will not save any changes, since the final exported design is derived from the finalized cutback design when designing copings. If you want to make larger changes prior to the reduced step, right click the object you want to change from expert mode, delete constructed parts (be sure it says merged reconstructions) then hit ok. Now when you go to freeform it will allow you to change the anatomic shape, though you will need to go back through the reduction step to save the stl design. Before you tear apart or delete any parts, I always suggest that you save the scene file. Right click save at the top right, and do a "save as" and name it something memorable (BeforeIMessedItUp). This way even if you are doing a diagnosis on why/when a problem started, you can always load that scene when launching the CADApp and get back to where you started. As for scanning and losing pieces. If you want to do an "add scan" to close an area, be careful not to hit 1 or rescan, or else you will be prompted to delete the existing scan data. Being unable to cut to antagonist I wouldn't be able to see for sure why that occurred, most likely because you were freeforming the reduced parts, which was only the facial area if that one was cut back. I don't believe if you freeform reduced parts it allows you to touch or cut back the non reduced area. I'm not 100% on this, I'd have to play with a design and try to recreate what you're describing. When you right click an object, always check to see what it says at the top of the options pop-up. This can give you a ton of information on what it is you'll be affecting, as well as explain why some options are missing, or why it's reacting differently than what you'd expect. If you can, more screenshots always help. - Josh [/QUOTE]
