Sectional Mode


Click “Sectional Mode” to display a vertical section plane positioned at the incisal point of the upper jaw. In the bottom-right corner, a 2D section view will appear, showing the intersection between this plane and the intraoral scan or CBCT data. This mode allows detailed inspection and measurement of anatomical structures in cross-section.
