> This is a patient with a bilateral skull defect. I want to make a repaired face of the skull, but I don’t want to match it with a new skull because the result is not accurate. I hope to get a new face through the curve. Can this be achieved! I can use the Draw tube function on each layer to get some divisions, but how to use these divisions to generate faces seems difficult. I know that MImics has this kind of curve generation function.
