Function box in detail

Most of the buttons in the function box affect the display of the insert on the workspace. Some of the buttons can be activated by clicking on the button. These buttons are highlighted in colour when activated.

Clicking on the button again deactivates it. For example, by clicking on "Measurement" button to show or hide the currently selected measurement.

Trade fairs

To be able to measure, you must be in a standard view (see 3.3.3 Standard views). Move the mouse to the starting point from which you want to measure. Press the right mouse button and hold it down while moving the mouse.

The information on the measuring section is displayed in the bottom left-hand corner of the workspace.

  1. Current cursor position (relative to the origin of the coordinate system)
  2. Current cursor position (relative to the starting point of the measurement)
  3. Absolute length of the measured distance (in mm)

Note:  If you want the most accurate measurement possible, zoom in as close as possible to the area to be measured. The smaller the insert is displayed, the greater your measurement error will be.

Zoom

The insert can be zoomed in to view details of the model.

Key combination Mouse movement/button Zoom
Mouse scroll wheel before Zoom in
back Zoom out
< button < Zoom out
Shift + < key > Zoom in

Note:  When zooming with the mouse wheel, the perspective changes as the area under the mouse cursor is zoomed.

Attention:        If zooming in with the mouse scroll wheel does not work, make sure that the window is activated. Click once on the workspace with the left mouse button. If the window is activated, make sure that the 1:1 view is not activated.

Turning the insert

To view the insert from any perspective, you can rotate the insert using the mouse or the arrow keys.

You can rotate the model using the following key combinations:

Key combination Mouse movement/button Rotation
Shift + left mouse button forwards/backwards Rotate around the X-axis
left/right Rotate around the Y-axis
Ctrl + Shift + left mouse button left/right Rotate around the Z-axis
Shift key + arrow key top/bottom Rotate around the X-axis
left/right Rotate around the Y-axis
Ctrl + Shift + left mouse button left/right Rotate around the Z-axis

Moving the insert

The insert can be moved on the work surface using the mouse or keyboard.

Key combination Mouse movement/button Direction
Ctrl + left mouse button forwards/backwards Moving on the Y-axis
left/right Moving on the X-axis
any Move along the mouse movement
Ctrl + arrow key top/bottom Moving on the Y-axis
left/right Moving on the X-axis

Functions of the work surface

The 3D model of the insert is displayed on the workspace. Using the buttons of the "Function box" (see sections 2.4 Function box and 3.3 Function box in detail), the display on the workspace can be customised.

To edit an insert, make sure that the button Insert is activated. If the button is activated, you are in the GP InsoleCAD Module. If you have already selected an insert, the insert is displayed on the workspace.

If you move the mouse cursor over the workspace, you will always see the current position in relation to the origin of the coordinate system at the bottom left. The origin is in GP InsoleCAD is always the point at which the bunion line intersects the foot axis.

Note:  Remains the "Insert" button is greyed out after clicking it, the module is not activated. In this case, please contact GeBioM mbH Support.

Attention:       If operation via keyboard shortcuts does not work, the GP Manager window is not active. Click once in the window to activate it.

Create new deposits

To create new deposits for a customer, proceed as follows:

  • Make sure that the button "Insert" is activated in the function box to enter the GP InsoleCAD module. If the button is active, it is highlighted in blue and "Insert" is displayed above the right-hand column in the dimensions box.
  • Click on the "Search/create customer" icon. In the following dialogue at the bottom right, select "New".
  • First select the "Page" (left/right insert) that you want to edit first.
  • If you already have a measurement for the customer from another module, you can use Ctrl + left-click on "Measurement" to select a measurement. The individual measurements of the current customer are displayed in the following dialogue. You can select a measurement by double-clicking on it. You can also create an insert without a measurement if you do not have a measurement.
  • Now select an insert from your library in the toolbox.

You should see a visualisation similar to Figure 9. The blue lines are the outline and bale line of the selected measurement.

If no blue line is displayed, then either no measurement has been selected or the inlay is covering the measurement. If you want to display the outline and the bale line of the measurement above the inlay, you can press Shift + left-click on "Measurement" change the view.

Working with GP InsoleCAD

Now that you have an overview of the structure of the GP CAD module, the following sections describe the functions of GP InsoleCAD described in detail. As far as possible, an attempt is made to follow a practical workflow.

The GP Manager supports you in this, as the functions you need are arranged from top to bottom in the toolbar.

Note field

The notes that are linked to the currently selected measurement are displayed in the notes field.
