Fix Normals
This function will attempt to correct issues with your model file where there is a surface that
should be facing outward, but is actually facing inward. This falls under an advanced modeling topic
and won't be covered further here.
Object Information
This will give you some basic details about the currently selected object.
The next section of the Object Placement tab has to do with how objects are sized and oriented
in the build volume.
The Translation row controls the object placement on the bed. This is normally something
you'll never need to manipulate by hand as you can move the object around with the mouse, or by
clicking the Autoposition icon.
The Scale row will allow you to change the size of the object. By default the Scale is locked to
the X axis as denoted by the little padlock icon at the far right. Experiment with the scaling by
changing the X column number. Think of it as a percentage. At 0.5, the object will be scaled in all
axes by half. .75 would be ¾, etc. If you click the padlock, this will "unlock" the scaling for the Y and
Z axes so you can change those independently from the X axis. Go ahead and unlock the scale and
change them and see how it affects the model. You can easily go back to where you started by setting
each axis back to 1 or by simply clicking the padlock icon again.
The Rotation row allows you to change the orientation of the object in the build volume and
each field is in degrees. This comes in handy when you've loaded an object that isn't oriented in a way
that will allow you to print it. To give you an idea of how this would work, click in the X field and
enter "90". This will flip the Ignite key fob 90 degrees to the build surface. If the Ignite model loaded
in this position, you could enter "-90" and it would lay flat on the bed, making it easier to print.
