[QUOTE="KentPWalton, post: 219301, member: 7347"] Riley...this is important! You need to contact Argen and ask them what is the radius of the end mill they're using around the margins....then you can set your drill radius properly for a better fit. After you have the proper radius, you can then tweak the cement gap, extra cement gap, distance to margin line, smooth distance, drill radius, drill comp offset. These are the settings that will help tighten/loosen up the crown. Go to the control panel, click on cement gap, and look at where that setting is affecting your fit. Once you understand completely what effects what and where, then you can fine tune it. I do split file cases every day with a great fit, but we did do a lot of R&D to figure out which setting we were happy with. I suggest you get a duplicate abutment from Argen and scan it in, play with the settings on a coping to see what you're getting until you're happy. Like [USER=213]@JohnWilson[/USER] said, do a 2d cross section to see the effects of the changes as well. [/QUOTE]
