Objects
You ȱ can ȱ manipulate ȱ two ȱ or ȱ more ȱ objects ȱ on ȱ the ȱ build ȱ tray, ȱ at ȱ the ȱ same ȱ time.
•
Selecting ȱ multiple ȱ objects
Manipulating ȱ done ȱ to ȱ one ȱ object ȱ affects ȱ all ȱ selected ȱ objects. ȱ For ȱ
example, ȱ turning ȱ one ȱ object ȱ on ȱ its ȱ axis ȱ causes ȱ all ȱ selected ȱ objects ȱ to ȱ turn ȱ
on ȱ their ȱ respective ȱ axes.
•
Converting ȱ the ȱ objects ȱ to ȱ an ȱ assembly
Separate ȱ objects ȱ become ȱ parts ȱ of ȱ one ȱ unit. ȱ For ȱ example, ȱ turning ȱ the ȱ
assembly ȱ on ȱ its ȱ axis ȱ causes ȱ all ȱ its ȱ component ȱ parts ȱ to ȱ turn ȱ as ȱ one ȱ unit.
To convert objects to an assembly:
1. Select ȱ the ȱ objects ȱ (see ȱ “Selecting ȱ Objects” ȱ on ȱ page 18)
2. From ȱ the ȱ Object ȱ menu, ȱ select ȱ Group to Assembly .
In ȱ the ȱ model ȱ tree, ȱ the ȱ objects ȱ now ȱ appear ȱ as ȱ children ȱ of ȱ a ȱ parent ȱ
(assembly). ȱ

After ȱ creating ȱ an ȱ assembly, ȱ you ȱ can ȱ save ȱ it ȱ as ȱ an ȱ objdf ȱ file, ȱ for ȱ re Ȭ use. ȱ
(Saving ȱ the ȱ assembly ȱ is ȱ not ȱ necessary ȱ for ȱ manipulating ȱ and ȱ printing ȱ it.)
To save an assembly:
1. Select ȱ the ȱ assembly ȱ (either ȱ on ȱ the ȱ build ȱ tray ȱ or ȱ in ȱ the ȱ model ȱ tree).
2. From ȱ the ȱ Objet ȱ Studio ȱ Commands ȱ menu ȱ , select ȱ Save As .
3. In ȱ the
Save ȱ As ȱ
dialog ȱ box, ȱ select ȱ the ȱ objdf ȱ format, ȱ choose ȱ a ȱ location, ȱ
name ȱ the ȱ file, ȱ and ȱ click ȱ
Save
.
To separate assemblies into individual objects ( stl files):
1. Select ȱ the ȱ assembly ȱ (either ȱ on ȱ the ȱ build ȱ tray ȱ or ȱ in ȱ the ȱ model ȱ tree).
2. From ȱ the ȱ Object ȱ menu, ȱ select ȱ
Ungroup
.
In ȱ the ȱ model ȱ tree, ȱ the ȱ elements ȱ are ȱ not ȱ parts ȱ of ȱ an ȱ assembly.
