[QUOTE="DAL Claxton, post: 315497, member: 22777"] Hello again Riley, glad to see you're hanging in there with it. I know in the new build you can definitely do that, so long as the implant company has the correct compatibility information in the file. You may need to delete constructed parts, but after that, right click the implant and you'll get an option that says something about changing compatible library. (It's a brand new feature so I don't have it memorized yet). The other possibility if they don't have it set up is : Save the scene as an STL (right click in the background and click save scene, then change the type to stl) with only your crown design and the jaw scan to align it again. Then restart the design from scan data, and immediately go to expert mode: tools, add/remove mesh, add in your saved stl as a waxup. the only thing you'll need to do is make sure it's aligned using the jaw scan, and then edit mesh /delete the excess data. All you should have to do is set up your new implant type, and it will sync down to your margin with no extra design work. With waxups : the top should be closed (if there's a screw hole cut it out with edit mesh and close holes on the top) and the bottom of the mesh should be open with no excess data (once again cut off the bottom with edit mesh if needed). Edit mesh trick : if you have floating data, switch the selection type to the most bottom one (says something like select by click on surface) and click the object you want to keep, then crop everything else out. - Josh [/QUOTE]
