Base setter

Text that remains visible when the action is collapsed in the script view

Sets a display color for the support elements generated by this action

Cannot be reverted once changed, only explicitly set to a new color

Distance by which the source contour area is extended to form the setter's contour

Distance by which the source contour area is extended from inner contours to form the setter's contour

• Only when Fill inner contour is inactive

Any point of the setter mesh is generated only up to this height from the build platform.

• On generation, this is still limited to model's highest point.

Makes the setter's walls oblique.

• Always in addition to source contour plus offset
• Negative values produce taper towards the platform.

Specifies the source contour to derive the setter contour from

• Silhouette: Cumulative part shadow
• Rectangle: part bounding box

Any internal contours may be regarded or ignored for the part shadow

The setter's volume may be fully solid or have an outer wall around an open pattern of either a grid of holes in various shapes or a grid of cylindrical columns in a hexagonal grid.

• Solid
• Rectangular
• Hexagonal
• Circular
• Columns

Hole width or column diameter

Thickness of walls between holes or gap between columns

Thickness measured from the fixed generated contour towards the medial axis of the supported contour area

Edge count for the patterned filling

• Circular and Columns only

Space between original part surface and setter's generated mating surface

• Use negative values to generate intersection with the model.

Fineness of setter's generated mating surface

• Smaller values follow the part surface closer but require more triangles

If over the stretch of permitted setter height the original model becomes narrower again, the setter's mating surface may either follow it or remain at the last maximum width

• Keep: Mating surface follows +Z taper
  Caution: Depending on part shape, this can cause the setter to be unremovable without destruction.
• Discard: Mating surface contour remains at last maximum XY expansion
