Align 3D files

The Review feature allows you to align and stack 3D files for a more comprehensive clinical view.

When to use alignment

Alignment is particularly useful when you want to:

• Visualize bone in relation to gingiva and teeth for evaluation
• Review wax-ups or surgical guides in relation to biological structures

Step 1. Create a Review Scene

• Open Projects → Review
• Add your 3D files (e.g. scans + CBCT)

📌 Review will display each file in its original coordinates. If they were captured in different positions, they will appear misaligned.

Step 2. Select Files to Align

• Select the upper scan and the CBCT file
• Click Align

👉 The final position will be dictated by the file on the left.

• To align the scan to the CBCT’s position → place CBCT on the left
• To align the CBCT to the scan’s position → place scan on the left

Step 3. Place Corresponding Points

• Mark at least 3 corresponding points on both files
• Click Align

🔎 Tip: If the alignment doesn’t look correct, go back and adjust the points.

• Once alignment is correct, click Done

Step 4.  Explore

✅ Your 3D files are now aligned, allowing you to review and measure in full context.

• Double-click anywhere to create a cross-section
• To measure, double-click directly on the cross-section
