Introduction
Today you will start with LutraCAD. We want to make sure that you benefit from all the
features that our software has to offer. The features and possibilities are extensive,
therefore we advise you to keep this manual at hand.
What is what?
LutraCAD has 2 sections;
1. The LutraCAD Manager
2. LutraCAD CAD

The manager is the section in which you can add new clients records and
ammend client information. The manager offers you the following possibilities;
- Adding new clients records
- Ammending client information
- Adding / taking 2D scans
o Feet
o Blue prints
o Pressure plate images
- Adding 3D scans
o Feet
o Foam boxes
- Create new insoles
- Open existing insoles
- Create worksheet for workshop
- Order insoles
- Starting the milling process
All of the above features are described in detail in the 1st chapter of this manual.
2. LutraCAD CAD (Computer aided design)

Once you have added a new client record and, if present, included 2D images or 3D scans
you can start modelling a new customised insole. Modelling is done in the CAD part of
LutraCAD. The modelled insoles are automatically saved under the current clients record.
The features of LutraCAD CAD are described in detail in chapter 2 and 3 of this manual.
Modelled insoles; ready to mill

After you have reached a modelling result that suits you then it takes only 1 button to create
a milling file. This milling file can be sent to your own workshop or to another company
where the milling of your insoles is fulfilled. Along with the file an order letter will be sent to
ensure that the desired material is known by the one that is responsible for the
manufacture of milling your insoles.

The LutraCAD Manager uses this shortcut icon that is placed on your desktop or
taskbar. You can open the LutraCAD Manager by double clicking it.
The LutraCAD Manager has the following tabs along the top of the clients record:
- Files
- Client info
- Add new client
- Import client
- Place order
- Milling
- New file
- Select feet
- Print 2D-scan
- Settings

1.1 Files
In the Files tab, you can select a client in the area on the right side of the manager. All files,
such as scans and previously modelled insoles that belong to this client will be shown in the
left area of the manager. The files shown can be opened by double clicking them.

1.2 Client Info
Viewing or adjusting client information is done in the Client Info tab.
- Click on the tab Client info
- Select client from list of clients records
- Click on the button "Change"
- Ammend the information as necessary
- Click on Accept
- The clients record is now updated

1.3 New client
Adding a new client into the database is done by following the next steps;
- Click on the tab Add new client
- Fill in the form (Note! fields with an * are compulsory)
- Click on Add
- The clients record is now added in the database
The newly added client is visible in the right hand column and will be selected automatically.
You can now proceed with the next step; adding scans to this clients record.

1.4 Import client
Import client can only be used when the import system is turned on. The import system is
used when the LutraCAD Manager is used on multiple locations, but there is only one
location where insoles are designed with LutraCAD CAD. In this case the import client
button transfers the data from the various locations to the central database.
- Click on the tab Import Client
- Click on the clients records that you want to import
- Click on Add
- The clients records are now added to the central database.
The imported client will be selected automatically allowing you to proceed with the correct
client immediately.

1.5 Place order
Place order can only be used when you have setup a receiving workshop or company e-mail
address. Adding an e-mail address can be done in the settings menu (please refer to chapter
1.11 of this manual). Adding files to your order list is done by opening an existing insole file
and clicking on export. You can add a comment and finally place the order by clicking
Order now.
ATTENTION: all orders in the list will be sent to your workshop or to the company that mills
your insoles. Deleting an order from the list is done by selecting the order and clicking the
delete button on your keyboard.

1.6 Milling
The LutraCAD Manager can create a milling programme file very easily.
In addition you can easily start the milling itself. The following options are possible;
- Starting the milling programme
- Opening milled insoles and if necessary milling them again
- Opening and printing the PDF file for a designed or milled insole
Starting the milling program is done by selecting a clients record after you have clicked on
the milling tab. Select the appropriate insole file, the milling file will then be created and the
milling will start.
Once the milling is finished, the clients record for this particular order will be cleared from
the List. The milled files can be viewed in the tab old files.
A PDF file is created whenever you export an insole. The PDF file gives most used data such
as, the client data, your company details, the maximum height of the insole and the desired
hardness of the material. This makes the handling of an order most efficient.

1.7 New file / designing a new insole
Once all the data is added to a clients record, you can start designing a new insole.
To open LutraCAD CAD, you just have to click on New File.
Clicking on New File is the trigger to start up LutraCAD CAD (Rhinoceros based).
LutraCAD CAD will be handled in this manual in chapter 2 and chapter 3.
ATTENTION: Usually LutraCAD CAD / Rhinoceros is not a pop-up screen.

This icon will appear on your taskbar. When you click on the icon, LutraCAD CAD will
open.

1.8 Select Feet (adding scans to a client)
When you have clicked on the Files tab, you can select a client in the column on the right
side of the manager. The files that are attached to this client will appear on the left side of
the manager. These files can be a previously taken scan or previously modelled insoles.
The selected client in the screenshot below is shown in grey.

To add scans to the selected clients record click on Select Feet.
The following screen will then appear;
There are two different columns that appear on your screen, each is used in a specific
situation. Scanning feet directly can be done with all green buttons with white feet and
scanning blueprints or pressure plate images is done by using the white buttons with green
feet.

1.8.1 2D Scanning
Adding a 2D scan to the selected clients record is done by clicking on one of the icons
shown below (the left icon is used when feet are to be scanned, the right icon is used when
blue prints are to be scanned).
As soon as one of the icons is clicked on, the 2D scanner will be activated. Please note: in
some cases the scanner first needs to warm up, this can take up to 2 minutes. After the scan
is done, the screen below will appear as a pop-up on your screen. If necessary the contrast
of the scan can be adjusted by using the slider on the lower side of the scan pop-up.
The next thing to do is to select the left and then the right foot. This is done by moving the
cursor to the most upper left side of the left foot, pressing the left mouse hand button and
moving down to the most lower right side of the left foot. When doing this, you will see a
red rectangle in you screen. Follow the same procedure for the right foot.

After both feet have been selected, the result will appear as a pop-up on your screen.
If these are the feet you want to add to the clients record in the database, you click on OK.
If the scan is not good enough you click on Cancel.

1.8.2 Importing 2D scans
There are multiple import possibilities for importing 2D scans. It is possible to import two
individual scans of feet or one big scan containing two feet. The screenshot of the buttons
below shows all options for importing 2D scans.
2 feet
1 foot
Feet Blueprints
Pressure plate images
After clicking on a button Windows Explorer will open and you can select the scans of your
choice.
1.8.3 Importing 3D scans

Importing 3D scan is done via the cubic button shown below. There will be a choice if one 3D
scan should be imported or two (left, right or both feet). When you have made your choice,
Windows Explorer will open and you can select the scans of your choice.

1.9 Printing 2D-Scans
Printing 2D scans of a selected client is done by clicking Print 2D-Scan.
The 2D scan will be printed on 1 to 1 scale.
When clicking on Print 2D-scan a pop-up window will appear. On the left hand side are the
available scans for the selected client. You can preview the selected scan on the right hand
side of the pop-up window. If there is no printer selected, you will be asked to select a
printer. In settings (Please see chapter 1.11) you can select a standard printer.
It is possible that the printed 2D scan is not on 1 to 1 scale. Use the Caliberate Printer
button. This will print a black line on your paper. When you measure this line in millimetres
and fill in the measured result, the following prints will be on 1 to 1 scale.

1.10 Searching and selecting a client
There is a search field on the right hand side of the manager where you can search for a
clients record in you database. You can search by client name, birth date or client number.

First you choose a basic pattern, the heel height and the shoesize then you press OK.
The basic pattern will be attached to the 3D scans and added to the preview.
The next step is a view of the bottom side of the left foot 3D scan. The 3D scan needs to be
placed in the correct position and for this the following 3 marks are required;
- Metatarsal 1 (MTP 1)
- Metatarsal 5 (MTP 5)
- Middle of the heel
After this is done, the same procedure is required to be performed for the right foot 3D scan.
ATTENTION: if there are more 3D scans attached to a client, you will first get a selection
screen, where you can pick the scan you prefer to use.

The insole is now projected on the modelling screen.
2. Rotate 2D
This step is only in use when 2D scans have been added. This step is needed to unlock the 2D
scan and lock the elements. Move and rotate the 2D scan to the right position.
3. Accept 2D

This given height can diverge by 2 mm higher or lower than the height that is chosen.
First the left insole is shown from a side view, then the right insole is shown.

5. Preview 3D
This step requires that first the 3D scans to be placed in their correct position, by using the
left or right hand mouse buttons held in while moving the scan. The correct position should
be within the contour line where both the heel of the 3D scan and the heel of the basic
pattern match.
When both scans are in the correct position, button 5 Preview 3D can be clicked on.
The previews are made and shown in red in between the 2 scans.
6. Update 3D

This step is used only when the preview insoles are not what is wanted as definite insoles.
Using the left hand or right hand button held in, the position can be changed. When the
correct position is found 6 Update 3D is clicked. To make the process go faster, you can
choose to update only the left or the right foot.
7. Accept 3D
If the preview is good, just click on 7 Accept 3D.
