Exposure Overlap Detection

Color Overlaps are highlighted in this RGB color and transparency in values from 0 to 255.
Angle Toolpaths overlapping, or crossing, in angles larger than this threshold in degrees are not considered overlapping.
Tolerance Toolpaths must be closer than this distance to be considered overlapping.
Minimum length Toolpaths must overlap for at least this distance to be considered overlapping.

Netfabb Plug-in

Module search paths Semicolon-separated list of additional directories in which to search for files that are referenced in the script code (e.g. when using the 'require' function)
Log level Scope of the message output (nothing, only errors, errors and warnings, all)

Smoke Simulation

Enable smoke simulation When enabled, then the smoke simulation is run as soon as hatching data is available in the exposure preview.
Timeline resolution The length of a single time interval on the timeline available for inspection in the Smoke Simulation window
Gas flow direction Direction of the gas flow in the build chamber. A 2D XY vector.
Gas flow speed The speed of the gas flow in the build chamber
Smoke creation interval Distance between successively created smoke circles along a toolpath
Smoke emitting energy threshold Threshold of energy at which smoke is emitted along a toolpath
Smoke expansion speed Speed of the expansion of a smoke circle
Smoke lifetime How long a single smoke circle can exist
Laser smoke collision ignore time Period (after smoke circle creation) when the collision of a laser with smoke circle is ignored
Laser smoke collision ignore distance The distance a smoke circle can move after the creation collision with a laser registers
Part default scanning speed Default scanning speed for toolpath of part. Used when toolpath laser parameter values are unavailable.
Part default laser power Default laser power for toolpath of part. Used when toolpath laser parameter values are unavailable.
Support default scanning speed Default scanning speed for toolpath of support. Used whenf toolpath laser parameter values are unavailable.
Support default laser power Default laser power for toolpath of support. Used when toolpath laser parameter values are unavailable.
Laser jump speed Jump motion speed at which the laser scanner hardware is repositioning to the next path start (while laser is off)
Laser jump delay A delay at the end of each jump motion to compensate a lag of the laser scanner hardware
Laser jump length limit Jump motion length above which the full jump delay is applied. Below this length the delay is interpolated between minimum jump delay and jump delay.
Laser minimum jump delay At least this minimum delay is applied no matter how short the jump motion is.
Laser mark delay A delay at the end of each exposure path to compensate a lag of the laser scanner hardware
Laser polygon delay A delay on each point on a path (not start or end) where the path direction may change but the laser remains active
Laser polygon delay mode Fixed or variable polygon delay. In the variable delay mode, the delay is scaled in relation to current angle: scale(a)=1-cos(a)
