As soon as you upload some photos and create a 3D, your screen is split in two and new icons, menus and buttons are presented. The purpose of this topic is for you to get familiar with all the elements you can find in the simulation pages. Since the user interface may vary from one type of simulation to another, open the dedicated tab to find out more about each.
FACE
BEFORE
As soon as a 3D is created, the screen splits in two and the before image appears always on the left hand side. The label on the bottom left reminds you about it.
AFTER
As soon as a 3D is created, the screen splits in two and the after image appears always on the right hand side. The label on the bottom left will change according to the name you used to save it.
Top bar:
The top bar presents the name of your patient to the left and your own professional name to the right.
Select Back to profile to go back to your patient's profile (and, from there, if needed, to some of the other menus or options). Careful! Any unsaved changes will be lost.
Settings:
Select to open/close the menu with which you can customize some parameters related to the appearance of the simulation on the screen and some measurements.
In the Settings menu you can define if you want the measurements to be Metric or Imperial. You can also select a different background colour to make it more in accordance to your patient's skin color, change the intensity of the light, modify the ambient light, or adjust the transparency of the curve.
Patient Access:
The Patient Access button becomes available after a simulation is saved. Select it if you want to share with your patient the saved simulation. Just add your patient's email address and send the invitation.
Record:
The Record button is only available if you are working with an iPad. Select it if you want to make a screen recording. This can be very useful for a later study or analysis, or to share with your patient the before and after images while moving or rotating them.
Analysis:
Prior to the simulation process itself, you may prefer to make a general analysis of your patients anthropometric measurements, proportions, or specific measurements. Select Analysis to open the Volumes & Measurements menu to visualize some predefined and different areas of your patient simulation in terms of volume, proportions, angles... If you want to take some specific and manual measurements, you can do it from the option Measurements in the Extras menu.
If your simulation pages do not have the Analysis button, read Showing or hiding some functionalities on the simulator or contact your Customer Success Manager.
Load:
The load button provides quick access to previously saved simulations for this or other patients. This may prove useful for comparison purposes.
Printout:
Generate a printable PDF file that can include the patient's photos, the before 3D model, and the simulated -after- 3D model. You can include some comments related to the procedure or any other information you consider of importance. This printable PDF file also includes the patient's personal information as well as a blank space for their signature. Thus, you both share and agree on the procedure and expected outcome. The printout also includes in all the pages that these images are not a guarantee of the final result.
3D Print:
This function is especially thought for those professionals with a 3D printer.
Tutorials:
Select to open a list with dedicated video tutorials that will provide a brief help on how to do the most demanded tasks. These tutorials are embedded in Crisalix and you do not need a specific login access to see them.
Save:
When you finish your simulation process, select this button to save it. You can give a name to this simulation, for example, "rhino 1", in case you create different proposals for the same procedure. Thus, you can later compare, for example "rhino 1" with "rhino 2". As soon as you save a simulation, the name at the bottom left part of the after 3D model changes accordingly.
Show all viewports:
If you are working with only the after 3D image on the screen, you may need to have the before image as well for some checkings or comparisons. If this is the case, select Show all viewports on the right side corner to have the before 3D image on the left side of the screen, while keeping the after 3D image on the right. Select one more time to hide it and have only the current simulation on the screen.
Remove viewport:
When you are finished with a simulation, you can remove it from your screen in order to start with a new one. If this is the case, then select Remove viewport to start with a new simulation. Remember! If you have not saved your changes, you will completely lose it.
Set up VR communication:
With Crisalix you can create an engaging patient experience thanks to the Virtual Reality technology. With it, patients are fully immersed in a Crisalix environment where they can see the result of their breast, body or face aesthetic surgery or procedure in a seemingly real scenario. Select to obtain the ID and the code needed to set up the communication with the selected VR glasses.
You can find more about it in this section.
Face simulator floating menu:
This menu offers all the tools, functionalities and submenus for a precise and accurate simulation. The icons, buttons, and icons will change according to the type of simulation you are working with.
As soon as you select any of the options from the floating menu, the "before" 3D model disappears and you will only see your "after" 3D model on your screen. You can retrieve the "before" anytime during the simulation process by selecting the Show all viewports (J) button on the top right corner.
Select at the top of the menu to minimize it. With
you can open it back again.
If your simulation pages do not have the Simulator floating menu, read Showing or hiding some functionalities on the simulator or contact your Customer Success Manager.
Extras menu:
The extras menu provides a quick access to functionalities related to the presentation of the image on the screen like the zoom, moving the image on the screen, or the rotation option.
With the measurements option, you can manually define two points to measure
Predefined views:
You can select any of the predefined views and both your before and after 3D model will rotate accordingly.
Progressive transition:
When you have simulated some procedures, you can either compare the after 3D model against the before one having both images on the screen or you see a progressive transition between these two stages. When you select the Progressive transition button, only the after image is presented on the screen. Also, a vertical slider appears. The top part corresponds to the before and the bottom part corresponds to the after. Move slightly the slider to see a progressive transition from before to how your patient looks after the simulated procedure.
Full screen
Select to remove the top bar from your current view and give more space to just the simulator and its own functionalities. Select one more time to exit the full screen mode.
BREAST
BEFORE

Clothes:
This tool is only available for breast simulations.
Once you are finished with the breast simulation, open the Clothes tool to find some pre-defined garments. Select them so that your patient can have a general idea of how she will look with real clothes on.
If your simulation pages do not have the Clothes button, read Showing or hiding some functionalities on the simulator or contact your Customer Success Manager.
Settings:

5D Dynamics:
This tool is only available for breast simulations.
Simulating a breast surgery is not only a matter of simulating appearance, but also being capable of simulating for the patient the behaviour of that new breast in some real situations like running, jumping, lying down, or simply bending forward. When you select 5D Dynamics you can simulate all these movements so that your patient can be fully aware of the expected result of the surgery.
