- Cluster detection reference
Cluster detection is the function that detects the areas where an action places support entities - Adaptive lattice bars
Builds a scaffolding under and around the part and supports it with bars - Bars on areas
Fills the space under the supported area with arrays of bars - Bars on edges
Traces an edge with a row of bar supports. Use when the edge's side walls do not qualify as area clusters. - Bars on points
Puts a bar on local minima - Base plate
Uses either part and closed volume support or the part bounding box to generate a contour-following plate volume on the platform - Base setter
Generates a pedestal with a shape-conforming indent - Delete supports
Deletes individual support geometry based on type and placement in Z - Lateral supports
Generates form-fitting profile blocks of adjustable size - Modify supports
Filters for individual, already existing support entities based on criteria and regenerates them with updated parameters - Polylines around volumes
Adds a polyline contour around an existing volume support - Polyline on cluster contours
Traces the contours of clusters with an individual polyline support entity each - Polyline on medial axis
Adds polylines along the medial axis, or skeleton, of a cluster left unsupported by other support actions - Polylines on areas
Fills the space under the supported area with parallel polyline walls - Polylines on edges
Traces an edge with a polyline. Use when the edge's side walls do not qualify as area clusters for volume support. - Volumes on areas
Fills the space under the supported area with a closed volume or with open structures formed from intersecting polyline walls
