Z402C System User Manual
Orient imported parts for the fastest print times.
•
•
When this box is checked, parts are always rotated so that the smallest dimension of the part
occurs in the Z direction. Since build times are largely determined by the height of the part,
this arrangement produces the fastest build times. But if you are importing several parts that
need to be placed in a predetermined arrangement to each other, you can uncheck this box
and prevent the software from rotating the part.
Offer fast rendering for parts larger than [ 100 ] thousand facets.
Large parts with many facets can be slow to draw on the screen. It is often convenient to
draw the parts using "Fast Rendering," which can be selected from the View menu. When an
file is larger than a certain threshold, before drawing the part for the first time, the software
will ask you if you prefer to use fast rendering. You can still choose to use photo-realistic
rendering.
If you have a very fast video display you may want to set the threshold higher, or even
uncheck the box. If your computer is slow to draw and refresh the screen, you can set the
threshold lower.

Warn if entity is outside the build box.
If your part is outside the build area the boundary surrounding the part will be red. The
software also shows a dialog box reminding you that your part is outside the printable area.
You may turn this warning off by unchecking this feature.
