Using Objet Studio

Positioning Objects on the Build Tray

Automatic
Orientation
5–18
To produce models efficiently and with the required finish, it is important
to carefully position objects on the build tray. Objet Studio supports the
automatic positioning of objects. However, you should check to make sure
that the objects are orientated logically for your needs, according to the
considerations explained in "Model Orientation" on page 5‐21.
Two things that affect the positioning of objects on the build tray are
orientation and placement. You can let Objet Studio determine the optimum
orientation and position, or you can control them.
By default, Objet Studio automatically orients objects, when placed on the
build tray, for the shortest printing time. (You can later change the
orientation manually.) However, you can cancel automatic orientation
when placing an object on the build tray.
To place an object on the build tray without automatic orientation:
In the Insert dialog box, make sure Orient Automatically is not selected.
Figure 5-19: Orient Automatically option disabled
You can change the default setting, so that automatic orientation is not
applied unless you select the Orient Automatically check box each time you
place an object on the build tray. To do this, see "Default Settings" on
page 53.
