To obtain a good 3D picture, the following three points are very important (similar to a
photography):
•
the direction of view
•
the area/size of view
•
unobstructed view of the object (surface mode)
This has to be adjusted with the render box. The render box determines the size of the volume
to be rendered. Therefore, objects that are not inside the box will not be included in the render
process and cut out (important for the surface mode to cut off objects, which obstruct the view
of the object). The positioning of the box inside the scanned volume is performed by trackball
and selection of a sectional plane A, B, C.
Review the following diagram to understand how the render box determines the direction of
view. Six different view directions are possible
A Anterior
P Posterior
L Left
