Figure 5-11: Assembly check box not selected—stl files are placed as parts
The Model Settings ribbon is displayed when objects are placed on the
build tray.
5. Select any of the following options, as required:
•
Units
Millimeters or inches for the objects units of measure.
The 3D file contains the object s proportions, but not its units of
measure. Therefore, make sure to correctly select either
millimeters
or
inches
when inserting an object. Otherwise, the size of the object
on the build tray will be either much too large or much too small. To
change the measurement units of objects already placed on the tray,
see Measurement Units on page 33.
•
Number of copies
How many copies of this object to place on the
build tray.
•
Orient Automatically
Automatically orient objects on the build
tray for efficient model building.
•
Assembly
Mark this check box if you selected multiple stl files
that are part of an assembly.
Note: The Extents values displayed in the Coordinates section of the Insert
dialog box, represent the maximum dimensions of the object on each
axis. These dimensions correspond to the virtual “bounding box”
surrounding the object see figure 5-51 on page 40).
