2D
[Desktop Automation]
An instance of this object is returned by the function of the LUATray:
object_packer = tray:createpacker(tray.packingid_2d)Properties
The 2D packer uses borderspacingxy but not defaultpartrotation, borderspacingz, and minimaldistance of the general packer properties.
| Property | Read/write | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| anglecount | read/write | Integer | 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 | Integer | Integer from 1 to 9; a multiplier for rastersize to determine the final raster size the packer works with. The default value is 1. |
| packeonlyselected | read/write | Boolean | When true, only parts are packed which were selected. 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 | Ranges from 0.1 to 10 mm, the side lengths of cubes in the initial raster to analyze parts and buildspace. The default value is 1. |
| sorttype | read/write | Integer | The 2D packer packs every part individually in a sequential order. The packing starts in one corner and is stopped when either all parts are packed, or when no more space is available. The parts are sorted before packing. The sorting can either by size (sorttype=0) or by height (sorttype=1). The size refers to the effective 2D raster size of the corresponding part. The default value is 0. |
