Scanline
[Desktop Automation]
An instance of this object is returned by the function of the LUATray:
object packer = tray:createpacker(tray.packingid_3d)Properties
The 3D Scanline packer uses borderspacingxy, borderspacingz, but not defaultpartrotation and minimaldistance from the general packer properties.
| Property | Read/write | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| allowrotationaxis | read/write | Boolean | When true, the parts may be rotated around the z-axis. The default value is false. |
| anglecount | read/write | Number | Integer from 0 to 7; the packer tries part orientations rotated in increments of 360/anglecount to find better fits. The default value is 0. |
| coarsening | read/write | Number | Integer from 1 to 9; a multiplier for rastersize to determine the final raster size the packer works with. The default value is 1. |
| interlockingprotection | read/write | Boolean | Prevents parts with holes from becoming entangled in each other but incurs significant computational cost. The default value is false. |
| minimizeoutbox | read/write | Boolean | When true, the meshes are rotated to where they have smallest possible bounding box before packing. The default value is false. |
| placeoutside | read/write | Boolean | When true, parts are moved outside the tray if they could not be moved. The default value is false. |
| rastersize | read/write | Number | 1 to 5 mm; the side lengths of cubes in the initial raster. The default value is 1 mm. |
Methods
| Name | Syntax | Description |
|---|---|---|
| pack | Result = packer:pack() | Pack the tray with the desired algorithm. Returns an error codes 0 for packing done, no problems detected, all parts were packed, or 1 for an error. |
