Valid Object
Placement
To ensure that models do not overlap when you position them on the build
tray, you can select the Dynamic Checking icon from the Tools toolbar.
When selected, Objet Studio only allows the positioning of objects if they
do not interfere with other objects on the tray. Note that the space occupied
by an object includes the “bounding box” surrounding it (see figure 5 ‐ 24 on
page 18).
Note: Because of the unique characteristics of each type of modeling
material, it is recommended that you select the material
before
precisely positioning objects on the tray.
Grouping and
Ungrouping
Objects
You can manipulate two or more objects on the build tray, at the same time.
To group objects:
1. Select the objects (see “Selecting Objects” on page 5).
2. Click the Group icon .
or—
From the Object menu, select
Group
.
In the tray hierarchy pane, the objects now appear under “Group
Element.”

To separate grouped objects:
1. Select the group element (either on the build tray or in the tray
hierarchy pane).
2. Click the Ungroup icon .
or—
From the Object menu, select
Ungroup
.
Even if you do not use Dynamic Checking when placing objects on the build
tray, Objet Studio automatically checks if there is a problem with the
positioning of objects on the tray before sending it to the printer. You can
also manually check for problems after positioning objects (see “Tray
Validation” on page 21).
