The following command lines were built into the Blue Sky Plan software to enable other softwares to launch Blue Sky Plan and pass STL and DICOM information.
1) Open Blue Sky Plan and Load a DICOM set:
BlueSkyPlan3.exe "C:\mydata\dicomdataset"
2) Open Blue Sky Plan and Load a DICOM set and STL file:
BlueSkyPlan.exe "C:\Users\spanel\MyDicomDir\MyDicomSet.dcm" "C:\Users\spanel\MyDicomDir\MyModel.stl"
3) Open Blue Sky Plan and Load a Zipped Folder with a DICOM Set and STL File
BlueSkyPlan.exe "C:\Users\spanel\MyDicomSetWithSTL.zip"
4) Open Blue Sky Plan and Load STL Files:
BlueSkyPlan.exe "C:\MyDir\MyModel.stl" "C:\MyDir\MyModel.stl" "C:\MyDir\MyModel.stl"
BlueSkyPlan.exe - legacy compatibility options
BlueSkyPlan.exe accepts legacy command line options, but forwards them to BlueSkyLauncher.exe, so the behaviour should be as if you passed them to BlueSkyLauncher.exe directly. Application won't open new project right away as it did in 4.13, it preselects relevant flow in Launcher instead, saves its parameters for data import stage and waits for user choices in Patient/Treatment step.
Standalone options
- "path to project\project.bsb"
- "path to dicom set\"
- "path to compressed dicom set\somefile.zip"
- "path to dicom file\somefile.dcm"
- "path to image\somefile.jpg" \*
- "path to stl file\somefile.stl" \**
\* Images will be loaded only in cephalometry mode.
\** Multiple models are allowed.

Registry entries
To obtain information about application installation path. For new code please pass arguments to BlueSkyLauncher.exe. Command line support in BlueSkyPlan.exe is just for compatibility and is slower because it forwards arguments to BlueSkyLauncher.exe
