To Pack Parts by Outbox

Place parts next to each other without reorienting them

Arrange parts automatically in the platform to avoid collisions, using the outbox as reference. The outbox is a cuboid space formed from the minimum and maximum values along each of the cardinal axes spanned by a part from both its own dimensions and its current orientation in the buildspace. It is visualized by brackets that appear at the outbox' corners when a part is selected.

Tip: Minimize the size of the outbox with Arrange > Minimize Outbox.
