For best results, arrange the tray with Automatic Placement, on the Tray
Settings ribbon, even if you inserted the objects with the Orient
Automatically option.
The physical characteristics of each type of Model material you use can
affect the positioning of objects on the tray. Therefore, select materials
before running Automatic Placement.
You can change the position of objects on the build tray—even if they were
inserted with the Orient Automatically option. Considerations for
positioning objects are presented in "Model Orientation," below. Tools for
changing the position of objects are presented in "Manipulating Objects on
the Build Tray" on page 29.
