Using the MPR Tab

The MPR workspace tab provides the same 2D MPR views and you can also tilt slice planes to any angle to align with anatomic planes (for example a tooth root, a bone ridge or an implant) and reset to pure orthogonal angles.

Note: Slice planes can be reset to pure angles.

Using the Horizontal Toolbar in MPR

Create annotations, shapes, screenshots, reports, and export functions within MPR (as well as Curve and Bilateral).
