Orienting Models in the software

Once the case has been loaded it will appear on the screen as shown below:

It is normal that the scan looks a little tilted to one side or that the orientation does not look perfect this is because the STL does not carry orientation within its data. 

In order to orientate it within the software and be able to use the left side menu appropriately the planes must be performed. 

After making all necessary changes please remember to save the changes either by clicking on the tab on the left side menu or with the pop-up message that appears when attempting to close the system without saving first.
