Step 4 - Create Pre-Surgical Simulations or Pre-Surgical Setup

The main purpose of pre-surgical simulations or pre-surgical setup is to make any changes you need to occur before surgery, such as creating space for osteotomy cuts.

When you complete the review of your post-surgical setup order, if you choose the first option, Begin Pre-Surgical Setup Order Next, the setup order opens as usual. Choose the second option, Begin Pre-Surgical Simulation Next, if you want to open a new simulation instead.
