The Transform tools by pressing on the transform button in the flow toolbar. The trans-
form tools will appear in the function toolbars on the right-hand side of the screen.
Autoplacement
This command will automatically place parts
on the build platform. The part interval will
define the space between the parts when
placing the parts automatically. The platform
margin will indicate how far the parts need to
be placed from the borders of the platform.
The parts to nest selection will give the user
the possibility to select all parts or just the
selected ones.
Move
The move operation allows you to interac-
tively move a part (or a group of selected
parts) to another position.
Grab an Axis or the blue plane on the plat-
form to move the selected part(s) in one or
two dimensions while visualizing in 3D view.
Rotate
Grab one of the circles to interactively rotate
about the chosen axis. You can also change
your part selection during operation.
Use the Enable Snapping checkbox to move
parts in defined increments. You can specify
the step size yourself.
In addition, you can specify a relative rota-
tion, fill in your desired degrees to rotate
about the X,Y or Z axis. Press apply to rotate.
Use the lock icons to counter movement
about the specified axis.
Rescale
The Rescale Factor is a multiplying percent-
age for the dimensions in that direction.
When the factor is 100%, no rescaling is
performed, when the factor is 200%, size is
doubled. A factor larger than 100 will enlarge
the part, a factor smaller than 100 will shrink
the part.
Enable Uniform rescale when you want to
use an identical factor in all directions. Dis-
able this option if you want to specify a differ-
ent value in X, Y and Z.
