This tool allows you to extract one or more teeth from a denture, with two working modes:
- Keep tooth:
- Extracts each selected tooth as a separate object.
- The extracted teeth are added as new extraction type files.
- When applying, they are automatically grouped into a group extract_N.
- Remove tooth:
- The tooth is removed from the working mesh.
- No separate meshes of extracted tooth are created.
