Visual Layers

Clicking this button opens the View Menu, enabling users to switch between the visual layers of the job. It is important to ensure that specific layers are checked before milling, following the workflow steps for your part. Also, confirm that all curves and surfaces were accurately detected and designated during nesting.

Advanced: This is a temporary layer (-DM-P) used during milling operations.

Toggle Gray Caps

This button toggles the view of the Gray Cavity Cap that is automatically created based on the detected prep-line on Crown & Bridge / Hybrid Abutment cases.

Advanced: This is a temporary layer (-DM-M) used during milling operations.

Toggle Cavity Fit Color

This button toggles the rendering of colors generated by the Cavity Fit Feature.

Toggle Replaced Interface

These buttons switch the view of interfaces on replaced Implant cases. It's helpful for verifying that the replaced geometry aligns with the original design's position and rotation, projecting the original geometry as black for comparison.

NOTE: Depending on the originating CAD library, the interfaces may have small variations when replaced.

Toggle Secondary Finishing Axes

These buttons control the visibility of the Secondary Finishing Axis Arrows. This axis is utilized to determine the milling direction for specific finishing operations. It may vary based on the restoration type and the setup of your milling strategy.

This might represent the drawing path for the top-cap designed for Abutments. MillBox utilizes this information to track and guarantee that the insertion direction, in relation to the prep-side of the restoration, is maintained during machining. This ensures a precise fit to the prepared tooth for inlays, onlays, and veneers.

Toggle Path of Insertion

This button toggles the view of the Path of Insertion Direction Arrows. These arrows represent the detected insertion direction of the restorations based on the part's Margin / Prep Line.

MillBox automatically identifies the Path of Insertion when importing your restoration. This is determined by the CAM using the Margin/Prep Line designation of the restoration. If the Margin/Prep Line data is absent, the CAM cannot predict the correct insertion direction, potentially leaving un-machined areas within the prep zones, leading to potential fit issues in the restoration.
