Setting Object Colors

The color of objects on the build tray can indicate how they are printed. Objet
Studio enables you to choose the color display so that you can easily see the
material, and surface of objects.
To choose how colors are applied on the display:
➢ On the Model Settings ribbon, in the Colors group, select one of the options
Before sending a build tray to the printer, or when you perform tray
validation, Objet Studio checks if there is a problem with the stl files or the
positioning of objects on the tray. If so, the affected objects are displayed
with special colors (see "Tray Validation" on page 5-43).

Loading Large Files

Very large stl files can be slow to load and may be difficult to manipulate easily
on the build tray. If this is the case, you can display just an image of the object
on the build tray without loading the entire file. The stl file itself is not changed,
and the complete file is sent to the printer.
To display an image of stl files when you place objects on the build tray:
1. From the Tools menu, select Options, and display the Settings tab.
2. In the Large Files section, select Load Partial (reduced).
