Avoid Support-Material Rule
This rule considers models that have large holes or hollows, open on at
least one side (like a pipe or a container).

It may be advantageous to print a model standing up , so support
material does not fill the hollow, even though printing the model lying
down would be much faster.
Manipulating Objects on the Build Tray
Object Position
on the Z-Axis
When you use automatic positioning to arrange objects on the build tray
(see “Automatic Positioning” on page 8), the objects are positioned directly
on the tray. If you do not insert objects with automatic positioning, they
often appear either above or below the tray.
To position objects directly on the tray:
1. Select the object.
2. Click the Lay On icon .
or—
From the Object menu, select
Lay On
.
To ensure that objects are always directly positioned on the tray:
1. From the Tools menu, select
Options
, and display the Settings tab.
Figure 5-15: Options dialog box, Settings tab
2. In the Automatic Lay On (Gravity) section, select Always . (This is the
default setting.)
In practice, the Eden system prints all models on the build tray on a one-
millimeter bed of support material. The importance of positioning objects
directly on the build tray with Objet Studio is to correctly display the objects
on the screen.
