Part library primitives reference

Applies to 2020.3 Update and later

Term Function
Caption Holds the text to generate the letters for the Text primitive or the label on Mold and Whistle
Clearance to screw Increases the Nut's thread diameter from the default to allow a fit for rougher surface finishes
Code type The QR code variant; choose from QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec Code
Color Sets the display color and the actual color of the part to be generated
Count holes (in X-/Y-Direction) Number of holes in each direction for the Grid parts
Depth                            measures of part in z-axis
Design choose a round, oval or rectangular shape for the mold
Direction                models facing up- or downwards
Edges                          number of edges the surface has
File                                  click here to browse for a file
Fit choose if the bracelet should be loose, closed or balanced around your wrist
Font                                   determine the font, size and effects
Good Triangles                 good triangles have no acute angles (there is no angle below 45°)
Handles                             add any number of handles to your vase
Height                               Edge length along z-axis
Height partitions               divides the triangles in the z-axis by this certain number
Horizontal  mesh  density changes the resolution of the bracelet. The higher the number, the higher the resolution
Invert Colors                     Concerns Bitmaps and Height maps: By default, all dark colors are filled/raised. With this option, that behavior is inverted.
Keep aspect ratio               When set to no, dimensions in x-axis and y-axis can be changed independently.
Kind of head                     available are hexagon socket, hexagon head and slotted
Lead length                       length in z-axis, until one rotation of helix is finished
Length                               measure of part in x-axis
Level of detail                   resolution of part in Bitmaps and High maps
Level of grey                     determines how many colors are detected in Bitmaps and height maps (up to 250 are possible)
Metric thread                     Diameter of the screw's thread (uses standardized parameters)
Name                                 This name will appear in the project tree.
Number of gears or teeth     number of rotations in a Helix or number of teeth in gear wheel
Pitch                                  determines the angle of a lead in the helix
Profile rotation angle         defines how the surface is aligned
QR Code The text to be converted into QR Code
Radical edges                    changes the resolution of the vase. The higher the number, the higher the resolution
Radius                               Changes the radius/size of parts; for example, for the Hexagonal Grid's holes, it determines the inner maximum width.
Resolution Defines the resolution of the part's surface. The higher the number, the finer the surfaces are subdivided by triangles.
Rotation Angle angle of bending (in Rotation Hyperboloid)
Size Edge length of the square QR Code
Smooth triangles               edges of model will be less sharp
Spin rotates the picture sweep from start to end by a specific angle
Steps changes the resolution of the picture sweep. the higher the number, the higher the resolution
Style                                  choose from three different shapes of the bracelet primitive
Surface                              type in desired size of surface, other measures will be adjusted
Tangential edges               changes the resolution of the vase. The higher the number, the higher the resolution.
Thickness of bars              Width of each bar between two holes (cylinder with hexagon grid)
Thread Length                   Length of the thread only, without head
Tolerance                          A higher tolerance makes the roundness of parts less accurate and results in a lower number of triangles.
Triangle Edge Length       max. length of triangles edges
Triangles                           number of triangles
Turns                                 determines how many turns you need in your helix
Type                                  choose between predefined models
Vertical mesh density changes the resolution of the  bracelet. The higher the number, the higher the resolution
Volume                              type in desired volume, other measures will be adjusted
Wall thickness                   distance between inner and outer shell
Width                                measures of part in y-axis
Wrench size                    distance between two opposite edges of the outer nut contour
Wrist circumference         determines the inner circumference of the bracelet
