Description
If you're worried that scripting is too complex, think again! In this video, we demonstrate how scripting simplifies and enhances the design process, making it accessible even to beginners. Our relatable example of designing pedicle screw guides will walk you through the basics, demonstrating how easy it is to get started with scripting using powerful, user-friendly tools. By the end of this video, you'll see how scripting can streamline your workflow, boost your efficiency, and improve the precision of your designs.
Instructions
Example of scripting a workflow
- Indicate the area that will act as the base using one of the mark tools
- Separate that area so it becomes a new surface
- Give the newly separated surface a certain thickness
- Create hollow cones around the screws' positions
- Add the surface and two cones together using a Boolean operation
- Perform a Boolean subtraction between the vertebra and the guide
- Label the guide using the 'Label' tool in the 'Finish' menu
- Remove the undercut using the 'Remove undercut' tool under the 'Finish' menu while indicating the desired direction of the placement
