Using one-click procedures to support a model in its current orientation and arrangement on the platform

What are support scripts?
Support scripts are lists of support actions that are executed in order. Support actions contain their own detection for areas and locations in need of supports so that scripts can run autonomously and immediately on parts in their current orientation and arrangement in the buildroom.

Why use support scripts?
Use them when you have a tried recipe for support generation without worrying about individual details in the part shape, or as first step to generate the bulk of supports, addressing the details later.

Where can I use support scripts?
Current buildroom
- Does not require opening the support editor
- Support multiple parts in parallel
Within the support editor
- Working on a single part, use scripts to generate complex arrangements of support elements from known, persistent settings
- Develop and adjust your own support scripts
- Import and export scripts
In My Machines definitions
- An assigned script is shown first when the support editor is opened in an instance of the machine definition
- Assigning a script to a My Machines definition makes it persistent with the definition even when it is deleted from the collection of support scripts
- If the machine definition is shared via configuration database, the script becomes available as well
