Manipulating Objects on the Tray
Positioning
When you use the automatic positioning option to arrange objects on the
Objects on the
build tray (see "Automatic Orientation" on page 5-30), the objects are

positioned directly on the tray. If you do not insert objects with automatic
positioning, they often appear either above or below the tray.
In practice, the Objet system prints all models on the build tray on a one-

directly on the build tray with Objet Studio is to correctly display the objects

To position objects directly on the tray:
1. Select the object.

To ensure that objects are always positioned directly on the tray:
1. From the Tools menu, select Options, and display the Settings tab.
