Below is a description of the different view modes:
• Normal: the standard mode, allowing you to view the object exactly how it has
been designed.
• Overhang: this mode allows you to identify the critical areas of the object with
regard to the printing process. The critical areas are shown in red, to indicate
that they will need additional support during printing.
• Transparent: this mode makes the object transparent, allowing you to see
through it and examine internal areas that would otherwise be hidden.
• X-Ray: this mode allows you to view objects that will be contained inside other
objects. For example, if you are printing a whistle, this mode will allow you to
view the ball inside it.
• Layers: this mode allows you to view the various layers that will comprise the
final object. Moreover, there is an option on the right-hand side of the window
that allows you to see how the object will be constructed layer by layer, which
can help you identify any potential errors in the layering process (fig. 4.11).
