Scaffold

Create a scaffold under selected parts. It is similar to an extra support for a fragile part. The scaffold does not touch the part.

Note: Click Simple UI to switch between the simple and the advanced User Interface. In the Simple UI, only the tools for minimum workflow are visible.

 

The scaffold has several uses:

 

  1. In the Print tab, click Scaffold.

  2. Select parts where you want to set up scaffolds.

  3. Expand the Parameters option.

  4. Adjust the options and click Set to create scaffolds under the selected parts.

    Note: You will be warned that the selected parts will be moved upward to create scaffold. Click OK to continue.
