These are the default settings for generating

Fixtures. See Section 5.22 “Default Fixture

Settings” for more information.

Max Top Thickness: The maximum thickness of the top

surface.

Min Top Thickness: The minimum thickness of the top

surface. The lower this value is, the better the

fixture will cradle the part.

Wall Thickness: Sets the thickness of the Fixture wall.

Distance between walls by X: The distance between

the Fixture walls in the X direction.

Distance between walls by Y: The distance between the

Fixture walls in the Y direction.

Base Grid Thickness: Determines how high the part is

moved from the bottom of the build box to accommodate

the fixture base.

Accuracy coefficient: Set the value for separating the

part and the fixture for parts that have vertical, or nearly

vertical, walls. The smaller the degree of separation, the

better the fixture will follow the shape of the part. Run

Collision Detection to see if the fixture is touching the

part. If it is, increase the Accuracy Coefficient by a small

amount and rerun Collision Detection.
