Overhangs Tool

Overhanging geometry is an important consideration in 3D printing because it may require special supports. This can add cost and setup time to the process.

The Overhangs tool detects and highlights areas of the mesh that protrude out at angles up to 90°. You can set the Overhang Angle option to look for any angle up to 90°.

The Overhangs tool works on both faceted and solid bodies. You can choose to select highlighted overhangs for additional processing or to modify the body to minimize the overhang area.
