Build job, Information

Field, command, or parameter Explanation Notes
Parts, Part count Number of parts present, number of parts selected
Volume The solid volume of all parts in the buildroom
Build height, Fill height Highest point until which the buildroom is filled with part volume
Area Surface area of all parts, including surface of fully enclosed cavities
Keep parts above platform Enforces a set distance between the lowest point of a part and the build platform
Length, width, height Dimensions of occupied space along the cardinal axes
Triangles Triangle count of all parts present inside the buildroom
Keep parts on platform Automatically snaps parts onto the buildroom surface and disables availability of vertical movement This can and will destroy packing results that make use of vertical space.
