[QUOTE="DAL Claxton, post: 327457, member: 22777"] Hello again Riley! In this instance, you imported the entire Waxup as a single scan. What the software sees is that you have (1) waxup. It then tries to adapt this one waxup, to all of the margins. If you were scanning these as individual waxups, then it would have you scan each one separately or every other one together like the dies are done. If you want this thing to get taken apart, you can edit mesh on the waxup, and use the line from selecting to cut between the interproximals using the "divide" option. With that, wherever the line of the selection tool goes, it cuts through the mesh there. I suggest doing one interproximal at a time. Once you've cut the waxup apart and cleaned it up (the waxup should only contain what you want to sync to the margin, the bottom should be open and the top free of holes) then once you adapt it to the margins it will have individual crowns. As one piece the software is not capable of seeing where one tooth starts and the next begins, so it's impossible for it to take a single mesh and divide it between margins. Hope this helps! **Edit : great job on keeping with Exocad though, and importing piecemeal what you need, like the bite. Now you can see how easy it is to fix problems that can arise during complicated cases (or cases that dr's make complicated) as opposed to being locked into the railway system that other softwares provide. - Josh [/QUOTE]
