Specifying Overhang Prevention

For a 3D printing process, you can define the growing direction of the manufacturing process. To specify the overhang prevention:
  1. In the Optimization HUD, expand Manufacturing Constraints and enable Overhang prevention.
  2. Double-click Overhang prevention under Optimization in the physics tree to define the direction.
  3. In the Overhang Prevention tool, enter X, Y, and Z values or select a location in the geometry to set the direction, which aligns with the selected face normal as indicated by the arrow. Double-click the arrow to reverse the direction.
  4. For Maximum overhang, enter a value for the maximum allowable inclination angle. You can also enter this value directly in the physics tree.
