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
Figure 5-62: Options dialog box, Settings tab
2. In the Large Files section, select
If you need to work with a detailed model that is composed of a large
number of polygons, you can speed up its display and manipulation in
Objet Studio by reducing the number of polygons on the screen. Although
this may reduce the resolution on the screen, it has no affect on the printed
models.
