Orient Model Envision One RP

Orientation of the model impacts its stability and printability, this is why it is essential to properly orient your model. Envision One RP allows you to orient your model either manually or automatically. You can also select another base for your model thus changing its orientation.

Notice: To fulfil the operation, open and select at least one 3D model.

Orient Model Manually

1. Press the  icon.

2. Choose the axis to align the model in the X, Y or Z.

3. Use the + and – buttons to set the required value of a rotation angle. The value of one step is 1°.

Orient Model Automatically

1. Press the  icon. 2. Select a part for changing orientation. 3. Select the automatic orientation mode based on your requirements: Place on the largest flat surface: This mode allows you to generate the model without supports or to minimize the supports number. Tilt model: This mode allows you to generate supports on the safe zone which prevents the model from clinging to the platform. Minimize print time: This feature is currently unavailable. Will be added in future updates. 4. Press Apply for All or Apply for Selected correspondingly depending on your actions in step 2.

Select Model Base

There are two ways to select a base for your model. Below you can find how each of the ways works.

Method 1

1. Press the  icon.

2. Press Select Base.

→ A new base selection marker appears.

3. Select a new base by clicking the surface that you want to orient toward the build platform.
→ The model orientation is changed.

4. Press Done.

Method 2

1. Press the icon and hold the mouse button pressed.

2. Drag the icon to the location you want to select as a new base.

3. Once a new base is selected, release the mouse button.
→ The model base has been changed.

Important: Once a new model base is selected, regenerate supports for the model. Read more in the article Generating Supports Automatically about it.
