3.2.5 Placing models onto the build platform

Appropriately placing your models on the platform can have an effect on print
quality.
TIP: In general, try to place your model in the centre of the platform.
Auto Place: Click the ―Auto Place‖ button, on the far right of the toolbar, to
automatically place the model on the platform. When there is more than one
model on the platform, using ―Auto Place‖ is recommended.
By Hand: Press the Ctrl key and choose the target model by pressing and
holding the left mouse button. Move the mouse and drag the model to the
desired position.
Using the "Move" button: Click the ―Move‖ button on the toolbar, choose or
input the distance in the text box, and then choose the axis for the direction in
which you want to move.
NOTE: When more than one model is open, the gap between each model
should be kept to at least 12mm to prevent the models sticking together.
