Abstract : Surveying is a part of CPD, designing and it helps to determine the path of insertion4 , withdrawal, locating favorable and unfavorable undercuts and etc. The primary cast surveyed is tripoded and the same marks must be transferred to master cast. But there are a few limitations while transferring conventional tripoding, which are: -  Transferring the exact location of tripoded marks on master cast is difficult  Bias can occur among technicians or prosthodontist regarding the tilt.  In order to overcome the above-mentioned limitations, we have devised an innovative approach to simplify the transferring of tripoded marks.  The modifications include modified surveying platform, clinometer app and mobile holder and dental casts.  The method simplified the transferring of tripoding marks and also elicits exact degree of tilt given, which is imaginary in case of conventional tripoding. The degree of tilt can be recorded accurately and digitally.
