Quick Tips
Starting with v1.0.0 you can save transfer functions to disk
and share them between your devices, your team or anyone
really.
Start by designing your transfer function as you normally
would or load an existing one from the preset catalog. Right
under the transfer function graph, you'll find the *Export*
button that will generate an **.mh** file on your desktop.
This file contains your transfer function and can be sent
around via email, Whatsapp or put anywhere you can store
files.
You import the transfer function the same way you load
models. Press *Import Data* in your library and navigate to
a folder containing the **.mh** file. Select the file and
hit the *Import datasets* button. The transfer function will
immediately get added to your preset catalog from where you
can apply it to your datasets.
Cut planes allow you to see inside volumes or objects by
clipping the objects in any direction. And they got updated
a bit in v1.0.1.
Activate the cut plane by selecting the cut plane tool. Move
the controller and change its angle to cut through the
active model. Press the trigger to set permanent cuts.
Remove permanent cuts by pressing their delete button.
While the cut plane tool is active, you can use your other
hand to grab and move objects. Press the cut plane tool
again to switch hands or deactivate it. Note that the grip
button on your left controller will always toggle the live
cut plane on the left hand.
You can set as many permanent cuts as you like on a model.
Should your model get too cluttered with planes simply hide
them with the cut plane toggle on the model's floor
interface. The cuts themselves will stay in place but all
cut plane visuals will be hidden. Press the same button
again to bring the plane visuals back.
Keyboard shortcuts on the PC-VR version allow you to trigger
certain helpful actions in Medicalholodeck. Traditionally
used in our debugging and testing, some of these may be
helpful for you too.
Make sure the Medicalholodeck app is in focus on your
desktop PC. Then press any of the combinations in this list
to trigger the corresponding action, e.g. moving around if
you haven't a headset connected with the keys W, A, S, D, Q,
E or quickly resetting the entire scene with Ctrl + R.
Keep in mind that some of the shortcuts change your virtual
position - this can help if you don't have a proper headset
connected. If you have a headset connected, remember that
the Space bar will always reset your position.
