Content
In addition, the system 1000 supports context models (see FIGs. 13C, 13D, 13E). A context model 1318 is a model that provides context in relation to other models, such as active models 1316. A context model 1318 is a representation of an object that provides an indication of the size and/or dimensions of the object and may include coloring of the object. Generally, a context model 1318 is not resected or cut or manipulated in a way such that a solid representation of the object is needed. Typically, the size and configuration of the object indicated by a context model 1318 is sufficient for the purposes of the workflow 1050. Accordingly, a context model 1318 can be represented in the system 1000 as a 3D wireframe and/or a 3D surface that defines a corresponding surface of a bone represented by the context model 1318. In certain instances, a context model 1318 may be a two dimensional image of the object. Advantageously, modeling, modifying, and/or working with a context model 1318 requires minimal computing resources to load, display, manipulate, view, print, store, etc.
