Setting and storing various exposure parameters
Setting the properties through the project tree registers them ahead of export, and any properties set this way also override their respective defaults that the export formats would have.
Properties added through the project tree are saved in the FABBPROJECT file and can be adjusted at any time.
Slice properties defined in the tree appear as nodes under their slice entries (left), and propagate to the export where defined (right).

Setting individual properties
- Prepare slice stacks for contours, hatchings, support, and any others needed for your build.
- Right-click a slice stack you want to adjust the properties of and choose where <property> is "Laser speed", for example.
- Adjust the value for the property, then click OK.
Managing multiple properties at once
- Right-click the slice stack.
- Choose .
This opens a dialog which lists the available properties. Here you can not only modify them all at once, you can also disable them so that they don't override their defaults during export. The value remains saved in the FABBPROJECT file even when the respective property is disabled. Additionally, this dialog supports
settings management where you can store and retrieve values and disabled/enabled states for the whole dialog at once. Property presets saved with the settings management may be applied to new slice stacks without any properties yet applied
as well as to slice stacks that have at least one property set.
To manage multiple stacks at once, select them all before choosing .
- Items without checkmark and grayed out: None of the selected stacks have an override of defaults active. (Example: Tag)
- Items with a checkmark: All selected stacks have an override of defaults active. (Example: Mark speed)
- Items with a gray square in the checkbox: Some of the selected stacks have an override of defaults active. (Example: Jump speed)
- Items with "---" for their value: There are overrides set for all selected stacks, but between them they are different. (Example: Premark delay)
Example of inactive, active, and individually different overrides of default values
Managing property defaults for new stacks
- Right-click the Slices section and choose Manage standard properties.
- Set up the parameters here. Save them as an existing or new entry in the Manage settings dropdown to persist during restarts of Netfabb, otherwise they apply to the current session only.
