===Advanced Parameters===
The '''Advanced Parameters''' button {{Inline button|advAction.png}} opens the profile and parameters selection dialog.
[[File:free-profiles-scan.png]]
Every object is scanned with a different procedure, to get all the details of the different shapes that can be scanned and avoid to use an unnecessarirly elevated number of images for a reference object. For instance, the articulation scan will be performed with only four images on an horizontal plane and reduced speed to avoid loosing the balance of the occlusion; on the other hand, the models will be scanned with 6 images on a low tilt, the dies with 12 images on a higher tilt and so on.
These '''profiles''' are Open Technologies' suggestion on how to scan a determined object, but it is not said that they should be always the best procedures, seen that dental objects are seldom similar. Starting from this assumption, the user is always free to decide whether to change the scan profile or not by selecting any other voice in the profile list to increase or reduce the number of images and detail. Of course, the higher the level of detail, the hhigher the number of images, the heavier the resulting file.
Moreover, by clicking '''Advanced''' on the bottom of the dialog, the user will be able to change some advanced parameters of the selected scanning profile.

There are two parameters atht can be modified:
;Object Color: The shade of the specific kind of object. Like in the live view of the camaras, this parameters controls the amount of light that will hit the object; if the object is very dark it will need to be scanned with a brighter beam and vice versa.
;Scan Strenght: This parameter allows to higher the contrast of the scanning pattern to better scan difficult surfaces (translucid, metallic etc). The more the selected strenght, the more time the scan will take.
===Die Scan Definition===
Die scanning works the same as all the other scanning steps, but it has an intermediate definition step with which the user can decide to either use the Multi die plate (default choice) or to mark a custom die scan setup.

The multi die definiton {{Inline button|mdSetupAction.png}} appear automatically at the beginning of the dies scanning step. The 9 positions of the multi die will be filled starting from the elements of the first quadrant, if there are any, and follows the standard numbering order. The wizard will show in which position to insert each die. If the dies exceed the number of positions, a further step will be added to the wizard to scan all the elements defined in the project. <br />
If the multi die plate is used, the software will already know which die is in which position, and there will be no need to further identify the items that will be automatically aligned to their reference.
As an alternative to the use of the multi die plate, the user can set a custom die scan order by clicking on the '''custom setup''' {{Inline button|customSetupAction.png}} button.

The software will mark all the items to be scanned in the same color which means that, by default, they would need to be scanned together. By clicking on one of the items to scan, the tooth will change color and will create a second scan group. Click then on all the items to be scanned in that second scan group. By clicking a second time on one of the already selected items, a further scan group will be created and marked in a third color. This operation can be repeated as many times as one wishes, remeber that '''all the items marked in the same color will be scanned together'''. <br />
In this mode, the software cannot know which item is scanned in which position, therefore it will requre the user to identify each stump. Identification procedure will be explained in the [[Edit|Edit Tools]] page.
