Move a component to minimize the build height

  1. Ensure that you have an additive setup with an additive machine selected.

  2. On the Manufacture workspace toolbar, click Additive > Position > Minimize Build Height minimize build height icon.

    The Minimize Build Height dialog opens.

    Tip: You can preselect components before starting the command; the selection is retained when the dialog opens. Preselecting also allows you to use rectangle select and other selection tools that are not available while the command is active.

  3. By default, if the active setup contains only one component, that component is automatically selected. If the setup contains multiple components, on the canvas, select the components you want to work with.

  4. In the dialog, enter a Platform Clearance to specify how far the bottom of the component is to the build platform.

    profile of component

    A value of 0 places the component directly on the build platform.

  5. Click OK.
