| Add Support Pin | Attach pins to the model base for support. (max. 5) |
| Manage Pin #1 | Manage the support pin #1. |
| Add Attachment | Add hinges, support elements, or articulators to the model base. (max. 5) |

Check the placement of the automatically attached pins.
Use “Add Support Pin” to add more pins if needed. A maximum of 5 can be added. If any of the pins are displayed in orange, their placement is not optimal, or it may be coinciding with the drain holes. Adjust the pin’s placement by dragging it until it is blue.
You can also make individual changes to each pin’s thickness and position. Click the pin’s management button to adjust the “Diameter” and “Distance From the Base” sliders.
🔎Note
Adjusting “Distance From the Base” can help shorten the pin if you can’t avoid placing it near the drain holes.
To delete any pin, make sure the corresponding management button is selected and click “Delete.”
Use "Add Attachment" to attach elements other than support pins to the model. You can choose from the provided elements or import custom-designed elements from your local storage. A maximum of 5 attachments is allowed.
Attachments will have a 3D manipulator for you to scale, translate or rotate the element.
🔎Note
Similarly to pins, if the attached element is displayed in orange, you must adjust its placement.
To delete an attachment, make sure the corresponding management button for an attachment is selected and click “Delete.”
Click “Next” when finished.
