-The top 10 best fitting supported standard blocks for the current cone size that are larger than the contour will be displayed to the user based on a coverage ratio (digitized area / block area). If applicable, at least two of the top fitting standard blocks will include any previously purchased standard blocks.+The 10 best fitting standard blocks from the library will be displayed to the user. The quality of fit is computed as the coverage ratio (digitized area / standard shape area). Results are limited to include only standard shapes that fully enclose the user's digitized shape and to only the currently selected applicator/cone size. Additionally, if the user's facility has previously purchased standard blocks for the given applicator, at least the two top fitting previously purchased standard blocks will be included in the provided list. Such previously purchased standard blocks are clearly indicated as such and the purchase date is shown to the user.

Ordering a standard block will automatically add it to the user's purchase history as well.

-When editing a beam with a standard block the standard block will be automatically removed. Any changes to the beam will invalidate the block so the best fitting blocks must be re-computed and re-selected.+Standard blocks will be automatically removed when the user begins editing a saved beamThis is intentional as changes to the beam parameters may cause the selected standard block to become inappropriate for treatment. If edits are needed, the user should make the edits, then re-compute and re-select the desired standard block.
