Selection-by-property reference

Applies to 2024.0 Update and later

List of properties available to filter by for selecting parts of the current buildroom

Jump to:

By bounding box

Bounding box is larger than, Bounding box is smaller than

Direction of threshold to decide inclusion versus exclusion

X, Y, Z

Threshold lengths along the cardinal axes

in all directions, in at least one direction

Choose whether all thresholds must be met or only at least one of them.

Ignore orientation

Netfabb tests for all combinations of values given for X, Y, and Z

Only tests a part's current bounding box dimensions. Even if a part could be rotated to make its bounding box pass when it currently doesn't, it would still not be considered to have passed the threshold check.

By volume

Parts can be selected by their volume being larger or smaller than a given value.

Volume is larger than, Volume is smaller than

Direction of threshold to decide inclusion versus exclusion

(numerical input)

Threshold volume

cm³ or in³, depending on choice in the Settings

Note: Parts with holes do not have a defined volume and cannot be selected with this method even if they would pass the threshold if the hole was closed.

By quality

valid closed and correctly oriented
faulty not closed or not correctly oriented
closed no open triangle edges, no holes
open any open edge
oriented no two consecutive triangles have opposing normals across their common edge
non-oriented At least one triangle has a direct neighbor with an opposing surface normal.
more than one shell Parts with more than one group of triangles within which the triangles are connected by common edges but where there is no connection across an edge between such groups Must have a common edge. A common node is insufficient.
exactly one shell Any triangle can be reached from any other triangle by traversing from one to another across a common edge.
without triangles A part record that somehow came to exist but does itself not contain any triangles

By number of triangles

More than, Less than

Direction of threshold to decide inclusion versus exclusion

(numerical input)

Threshold count

Top

By Z height

Parts are fully above, Parts are partly above, Parts are fully below, Parts are partly below above

Direction of threshold to decide inclusion versus exclusion

(numerical input)

Threshold height with respect to the platform

Only this value is tested against, even when the parts lie outside the actual buildroom volume.

Top

By placement relative to buildroom volume

Parts fully inside the platform, Parts fully ouside the platform, Parts fully and partly inside the platform, Parts fully and partly outside the platform

Direction of threshold to decide inclusion versus exclusion

The "and" refers to parts of either disposition, rather than to parts that are of both dispositions at the same time which is impossible.
