Manipulating Objects on the Build Tray
Object Position
on the Z-Axis
When you use automatic positioning to arrange objects on the build tray
(see “Automatic Positioning” on page 5‐8), the objects are positioned
directly on the tray. If you do not insert objects with automatic positioning,
they often appear either above or below the tray.
To position objects directly on the tray:
1. Select the object.
2. Click the Lay On icon
.
or—
From the Object menu, select
Lay On
.
To ensure that objects are always directly positioned on the tray:
1. From the Tools menu, select
Options
, and display the Settings tab.
Figure 5-15: Options dialog box, Settings tab
2. In the Automatic Lay On (Gravity) section, select
Always
. (This is the
default setting.)
Other Z-axis options (in the Automatic Lay On section):
•
When under the tray
—The display of objects that are below the build
tray is automatically changed so that the object is at tray level.
•
Never
—The display of objects that are above or below the build tray is
not changed.
In practice, the Objet30 system prints all models on the build tray on a one-
millimeter bed of support material. The importance of positioning objects
directly on the build tray with Objet Studio is to correctly display the objects
on the screen.
