Adds polylines along the medial axis, or skeleton, of a cluster left unsupported by other support actions
This action is typically used to fill corners of clusters where the cumulative border distance of the volume-support would cause the corner to be excessively under-supported.

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 |
| Cluster |
Search parameters for areas of contiguous triangles requiring supports |
|
| Minimum edge length |
The distance kept between the cluster's contour and the cluster's volume supports that is required for a skeletal polyline to be created |
|
| Contour offset to wall |
The anchor points along the contour can be moved further apart from the edge. This offset is the distance kept from the edge to the next wall. |
|
| Free contour offset |
The distance between an anchor point and a non-wall-type section of the cluster contour |
|
| Offset to border |
This parameter affects the length of the skeletal reinforcements in narrow cluster sections. The skeletal polyline is extended towards the wider portions of the cluster until its end is at least this distance away from the closest point in the cluster's contour. |
Up to 10 mm |
