Slicing settings reference

Options to adjust the behavior of slicing, located in the Netfabb settings

Settings

To find these options, navigate via the main menu to Settings > Settings > Slice Commander.

Colors	Define here the colors for a number of UI elements that are used when working in the Slices section.
Release loaded slice files	Slice files are usually loaded only partly to save on RAM requirements. However, this locks the files against access by other processes including Netfabb itself, when you load slice files generated by a machine, for example. To always load the entire slice file into memory and allow other processes access, set this to Yes.
Highlighting Grid Size	To highlight the interior of a closed contour, a placeholder hatching can be displayed. With this option, specify how tightly the lines for the placeholder filling should be spaced.
Highlighting Style	Select in which direction the lines should point (read: which axis they should be parallel to) that are used for the placeholder hatching, in X, Y, or X and Y. Highlighting examples: Along both axes (left) and along X axis only (right).
Enable slice calculation cache
Default point reduction tolerance	This is the default threshold up to which a change in shape is allowed when a point reduction is to be performed.

Part renaming

To find these options, navigate via the main menu to Settings > Settings > Part Renaming.
