3.2.5 Placing models onto the build platform
Appropriately placing your models on the platform can have an effect on print quality.
TIP: In general, try to place your model in the centre of the platform.
Auto Place: Click the ―Auto Place‖ button, on the far right of the toolbar, to
automatically place the model on the platform. When there is more than one model on
the platform, using ―Auto Place‖ is recommended.
By Hand: Press the Ctrl key and choose the target model by pressing and holding the
left mouse button. Move the mouse and drag the model to the desired position.
Using the “Move” button: Click the ―Move‖ button on the toolbar, choose or input
the distance in the text box, and then choose the axis for the direction in which you
want to move.
NOTE: When more than one model is open, the gap between each model should be
kept to at least 12mm to prevent the models sticking together.
