Uses either part and closed volume support or the part bounding box to generate a contour-following plate volume on the platform

| Description | Holds a text label for the action that remains visible even when the action parameters are collapsed in the script tab | |
Color
|
Sets a display color for the support elements generated by this action |
Cannot be reverted once changed, only explicitly set to a new color |
| Offset |
Sets the margin to generate the contour of the base plate. The margin is added to the shadow area of the part as well as to any contours of solid volume support structures at their termination on the build platform. |
|
| Maximum height |
Sets the thickness of the base plate |
|
|
Taper angle
|
Applies a taper to the base plate's circumference. Positive angles taper the plate towards the top. Tapering only ever adds onto the contour offset. |
-60° to 60° |
|
Bounding shape
|
Selects the shape reference. Options Rectangle and Inverted silhouette use the part's bounding box for the outer shape. |

| Fill inner contour |
If the shadow area and the area occupied by solid volume support produces fully enclosed areas, this switch Sets whether they should also be covered by the base plate. Note: Enclosed areas are only tested for
before the margin is applied. This switch therefore ignores any areas that (would) become enclosed by overlapping offsets of neighboring shadow or support areas.

| Pattern |
Instead of being completely solid, the baseplate can be generated with a structured perforation. |
|
| Cell size |
The distance between parallel walls in a perforation, not counting the solid walls between perforations |
Rectangular, Hexagonal, Circular, Column only |
| Pattern wall thickness |
Thickness of the solid wall between adjacent perforations |
≥0.1 mm |
|
Perimeter wall thickness
|
Sets a separate thickness for the wall following the base plate's circumference |
≥0.1 mm |
|
Polygon corner
|
Affects triangle resolution of the circular features |
Circular, Column only |
Inverted silhouette
