Additional functions

Icon	Description
Texture	Set whether the model shows colored model or not.
Data indicator	Turn on the tooth color display. If the gray color is displayed when scanning, it means the data quality in these area is not good enough, and the area should be scanned again. When the grey color turns into true color display, it means the data quality has reached the requirements of better post-processing.
Intelligent Scan	Applied to intraoral scanning. After clicking it, miscellaneous data will be automatically deleted when scanning, such as data of buccal, lingual and soft tissues. When you use the software for the first time and enter the scanning interface, the button is gray and you need to wait for 1-2 minutes for initialization. After the initialization is completed, the button can be clicked.
View Lock	Check the model from one fixed perspective when scanning, and the automatic perspective tracking function is not enabled. This function is not enabled by default.
