Transposition

The transposition of an insertion can be performed in an interactive or in a non-graphical way. If you want to transpose an insertion with the mouse, select the surgery technique "Transposition" and move the cursor directly over the insertion point in the 3D-view. As soon as the cursor is located over the insertion point, the cursor changes its shape into a scalpel.

Now click with the left mouse button directly on the insertion point and pull it to the desired position on the globe, while keeping the mouse button pressed. The gray point marks the location of the insertion before the transposition was started. By releasing the left mouse button, the transposition is finished. By pushing the "ESC" key the transposition can be canceled as long as the left mouse button is still pressed. Furthermore, you can push the "CTRL" key or move the mouse wheel, while holding the left mouse button down and pulling the mouse, in order to zoom the 3D-view. During the transposition, the new arc of contact as well as the anterior/posterior and tangential transposition distances in spherical and Cartesian distances are displayed in the status bar.
