Planner Workspace

The planner is the core workspace where you create and refine surgical plans. It provides 2D and 3D visualisation of patient imaging alongside surgical planning tools.

Layout

The planner workspace is divided into four areas:
AreaLocationPurpose
ToolbarTopPatient info, DICOM loader, view mode tabs, measurement tools, planning tools
ViewportCentreThe main visualisation area — displays DICOM slices or 3D renderings
Properties PanelRightContext-sensitive panel showing tunnel parameters, implant details, bone settings, or graft configuration
Status BarBottomSlice count, view mode, active tool, auto-save indicator

View Modes

Switch between view modes using the tabs in the toolbar or keyboard shortcuts:
ModeKeyDescription
Stack1Single-slice DICOM viewing with scroll-through navigation
MPR2Multi-planar reconstruction — axial, sagittal, and coronal views in a 2x2 grid
3D33D model view for implants and tunnels
Bone4Volume-rendered bone with threshold, clipping, and opacity controls
Segments5AI-segmented individual anatomical structures (requires CT processing)
Graft6Graft path visualisation with spline control points
You can switch view modes at any time without losing your work. Annotations, tunnels, and implant selections persist across all views.

Keyboard Shortcuts

The planner supports keyboard shortcuts for fast tool and view switching:

Auto-Save

The planner auto-saves your work as you make changes. The status bar displays the save state:
  • Plan saved — all changes have been saved
  • Saving… — a save is in progress
  • Save failed — an error occurred (check your connection)
Auto-save uploads your plan data to the cloud. If you close the browser and reopen the case, your plan will be exactly as you left it — including DICOM files, which are reloaded from cloud storage.
There is no manual save button — saving is handled entirely by the auto-save system with a 2-second debounce.
