  I see toggles for the viewing of separate dental tissues, but I can't seem to get them working. For example, I'd like to view the root canals. There are Show/Hide toggles for the enamel, etc. but they don't seem to do anything. Their translucency toggles also don't seem to do anything. I can focus on a tooth, then hit the cross-section button, but instead of showing the cross section of the focused tooth, it does a cross-section of the entire head. So, there's the root canal selections, but apparently no way to view them.EDIT: Apparently, the hide/show and translucency toggles only work when viewing the head in a cross section. The root canal is also apparently only the empty space, so showed or hidden, there's nothing to view.

  Years and years of “mobile first” getting getting traction only to be forgotten in a heartbeat when it’s finally easy to do “real cool stuff” on desktop.I personally couldn’t be happier about it.

  @Zeruxe: I don't know how to DM people on this platform, but I'd love to chat with you. I'm an ICU doc and have spent the past month vibe-coding a bunch of physiologic and anatomic simulators (med-sim.com). If you want to collaborate, please use the "contact me" form at med-sim.com to reach out. I don't want to share my email on this message board b/c I'm not smart enough to know whether that is safe or not.

  This reminds me of "Human Atlas" [1] (created by GPT-6 Astra) - there's a video in the tweet announcing it [2].There was a live deploy, but it is currently unavailable: https://human-atlas-seven.vercel.app/[1]: https://github.com/ashemag/human-atlas[2]: https://x.com/ashebytes/status/2096221988763173186?lang=ar-x...

  When dentists take scans of our teeth, can those scans theoretically be rendered in this tool?

  I'm a bit confused that the top wisdom teeth are erupted but the bottom ones aren't.. is that toggle-able?

  Just a clarification for the people hating on clankers, I want to know what you expect from todays devs? do you genuinely think that people should manually handcode everything for it to hold any significant value?I just don't understand the point of view where - "a clanker made it therefore it's trash", it's always the same people they lurk on reddit aswell.Even in the case of putting something together manually, you are competing against people using AI and you will never match their production level or speed.I mean the people who hold the highest priority say in this are the dentists/dental students, and so far all the feedback from those have been nothing but positive?

  Too bad the AI that this is built with isn't bright enough to know how many permanent teeth there are in a human's jaw. 38 seems high. Why should anyone trust it to know how all the other things are connected?I hate to think that there are generations of engineers, programmers, etc who will not be qualified to determine whether the AI tools that they build and deploy can answer any of the questions that one would be inclined to ask or solve any of the problems that might need solutions.Get an education. Learn to think for yourself so that you can recognize when some slop like this hits the screen.

  You built nothing.You pointed your clanker of choice to a dataset (or more realistically, asked it to find an appropriate dataset), and told it to build a interactive 3d model. You learned nothing from this project because no mental effort was spent beyond listing out features for your clanker, and some manual testing.

  I wonder when Claude will stop doing "pale but not white background with a serif heading"Also - not sure what happened, but clicking around, I got the entire model to disappear entirely and the reset button did not bring it back. A refresh did work.One UX suggestion: The "Dissect Anatomy" area should instead have a toggle switch for the "laid out" option (And that could disable the assembled/in position ), as that seems to be a binary control, where the "assembled" and "in position" options are actually modified by the vertical slider.Seems neat, for the most part.
