Manually Adjusting a Face Scan Alignment

To manually adjust the alignment of a Face Scan with a patient image volume, follow these steps:

  1. In any workspace tab apart from the Review tab, in the Tools pane in the tool box, click and select Face Scan in the object drop-down list.

  1. In the Face Scan object list, select the Face Scan object and click .

  2. In the Adjust a Face Scan alignment window, click the Manual tab.

Editing objects are displayed in the following view screens:

 

Note: You cannot adjust an automatic alignment directly in the 3D View Screen. The 3D View Screen is intended as a visual aid while carrying out adjustments to the Face Scan alignment.

 

  1. To move the Face Scan, in a view screen select the Face Scan's object outline, or one of the left-and-right or up-and-down handles, and drag to move it to a new position.

These handles enable constrained movement (left-and-right or up-and-down), to ensure greater precision when repositioning a Face Scan object.

 

  1. To move an object without any directional constraint, click on the omnidirectional handle.

 

Note: Use of this adjustment feature requires particular care. To undo manual adjustments see "Undoing Manual Face Scan Adjustments".

 

  1. To rotate an object, select the rotation handle and drag the axis to a new position.

 

 Tip:

You can drag the rotation handle outwards, in order to increase the precision of the adjustment.

As you rotate the Face Scan, the angle of rotation is displayed in real-time.

 

  1. To complete repositioning of the Face Scan, release the object.

  2. When you have finished carrying out Matching Refinements:

  3. Click OK to validate modifications and close the Adjust a Face Scan alignment window.

  4. Click Cancel to cancel modifications carried out and not saved in the Adjust a Face Scan alignment window.
