3-7 Cut the scanning data
You can cut the 3D data you have scanned using a modeling machine.
You can create reduced-scale objects of a different size than the scan object.
1. To cut only a portion of the scanning data, use the commands on the [Select] menu to specify the range.
2. From the [File] menu, click [Run MODELA Player...].
MODELA Player starts and the scanning data is exported.
3. Operate MODELA Player and set the cutting parameters.
For more information about how to operate MODELA Player, refer to the help screens or the manual for

You can use the 3D data you have scanned to engrave shapes and text on the surface of a scan object.
1. To engrave only a portion of the scanning data, use the commands on the [Select] menu to specify the range.
2. From the [File] menu, click [Run 3D Engrave...].
3D Engrave starts and the scanning data is exported.
3. Operate 3D Engrave to create a tool path.
The method of engraving on a curved surface is explained in detail in the 3D Engrave help screens, in "Trying
It Out - Engraving on a Curved Surface." Refer to that for more information.
For more information about how to operate 3D Engrave, refer to the help screens or the manual for 3D Engrave.
3-9 Compatibility with earlier versions
You can open files created with version 1.x and 2.x with Dr. PICZA version 3.
When you open a file from an older version, it is converted to the format for version 3. When this happens, color
information is lost.
When you open a file from an older version, the following message appears.
This file was saved using an older version of Dr. PICZA.
Color information is lost.
You cannot save a file in the format for an older version. Files in version 3 format cannot be opened with older
versions of Dr. PICZA.
If you want to keep the older-version file, use the [Save As...] command to save the file with a different name.
3-10 Changing the Measurement System for Numerical Values
The measurement system used for numerical values depends on the unit setting for Windows in effect when
Dr.PICZA3 starts up. The settings for Windows can be changed with [Measurement System] on the [Number]
tab under [Control Panel] - [Regional Setting].
If the measurement system has been changed, Dr.PICZA3 must be stopped and restarted for the new setting to
take effect.
