Choosing the Support Strength
When producing models, support material fills some hollow and empty sections
(see "Manual Positioning" on page 5-31). Objet Studio allows you to adjust the
strength of the structure formed with the support material. This adjustment is
useful when producing either large/massive models or small/delicate models. For
most purposes, the default setting provides adequate support strength.
To change the strength of the support structure used when printing a
model:
1. Select a model on the tray.
2. On the Model Settings ribbon, in the Options group, click
Note: If an object is split into shells, the Advanced Properties enabled vary with
the object selection. If a single element is selected only Hollow is enabled. If a
group of elements is selected only Grid Style is enabled.
3. In the Grid Style section, choose the support strength suitable for the selected
4. Click Apply.
