5.11 Justify Parts

The Justify feature will align a part to a specified location in the Build Bed. Select the part and choose

Transform > Justify. You may justify the part to the center, left, right, front, back or bottom of the Build

Bed. To justify a group of parts, first select the parts and then choose Transform > Justify.

5.11.1 Parts Extending Outside The Build Bed Boundaries

IMPORTANT: When changing the orientation of a part in the Build Bed, you may find that a part

exceeds the boundaries of the Build Bed. When this happens, the part is highlighted in a red wire

frame and a warning message appears.

To reorient the part, select the part and either move it with the mouse in the Top or Side Views, or use the

Justify dialog or the Align Parts in Build dialog. You may need to scale the part if it does not fit in the

Build Bed.

NOTE: If you do not want ZPrint to warn you when a part extends beyond the Build Bed, uncheck the

Warn if entity is out of Build Bed bounds option in the Settings > General Preferences > General

tab.

5.12 Collision Detection

Collision Detection is a function that you run prior to printing to see if parts are touching each other. It is

important to run Collision Detection when you are printing multiple parts in the same build, or when using

Fixtures.

Collision Detection checks each layer of each part (and Fixture) to ensure they are not touching or overlap-

ping. Printing parts that are too close together in the Build Bed, or are touching, will result in the surfaces of

the parts adhering to each other.
