[QUOTE="2thm8kr, post: 327983, member: 1367"] 3sheep is better at everything! You need to switch back to spare us from your regular b!tching. I bet 3S 2017 is still a solid version? *****************************************************************************************************************************************************. Model Creator was designed to take IOS and make models from that. It fills holes automatically, develops walls, and generates a useable watertight mesh to print models. How many separate shells are you trying to combine there into one mesh without overlaps, holes, inverted triangles, 4,5? That's a lot of calculations which I'm certain 3S would do in a snap into a printable mesh. Try saving all of the DX teeth separately[I] as individual stl files. In Model Creator import the preop model as the jaw scan you want to make the model from. Choose plateless model(solid). Generate the solid model of the preop first. Use expert mode to free form the model. In the free form window select ATT. Scroll through the library list to load from file. Select stl for #6, when prompted to rotate or not click yes. Do the same individually for 7-11. You should have a decent mesh. If you now want that mesh hollow for printing save it as stl and reimport in model creator as asiga or nextdent model to render a hollow mesh. There are other resources to find answers to problems you have with exocad, but I assure you, you will get more replies using honey than vinegar. There are unofficial work arounds, xml edits, and homemade hacks for nearly any obstacle you encounter. If you can figure how to get a solid model of your dx to work, it would be possible to edit the bottom off and import that as the jaw scan to make shell temps of your dx work up.[/I] [/QUOTE]
