Use a part and a support script as a template, generating part clones with individual parameter value sets each
This functionality is aimed at finding the best values for the various parameters used during support generation. The values can come from manual input or from import of a file containing the values.
Jump to:
Preparation
- Arrange and orient the single part.
- Select the part and open the support editor.
- Create a new support script with actions, or select an existing script to apply.
This is the same as using any other support script in the support editor, except that you do not execute it yet.
TopSetting up the list of variable parameters
Script parametrization uses a separate dialog.
Opening the parametrization dialog
- Select the script to run with a parameter list.
- In the context view choose
More actions > Execute parametrized script.
- Click
Generate parameter template.
- Select the parameters to vary and click OK.
- For each part copy with its own parameter values, click
New entry and specify the values for the individual copy.
- Click OK to accept the set of values.
- Click Save to close the dialog, saving the rows and values, or click Execute to start generating the part clones and their support variations.
As an alternative to steps 4-6 click
Import CSV and load the parameters and values from a CSV file.
Caution: Automatic placement of the copies ignores any parts, including the original, unlabeled part already existing in the buildroom. Any collisions and intersections so created must be resolved manually.
