The 3D Classes

The 3D tree starts at the "Root" node, and finishes with "Geom" nodes. Each 3D geometry file (STL, OBJ...) that you read in sliceOmatic contains one or, sometimes, multiple geometries. Each of these is a "Geom". The root and the geom are both a "class" of nodes.

The root and the geom are always present in the 3D database tree. But in between, you can add other classes.

Note:

To add new classes to the 3D tree, you need to install the additional module: "DB Class management 3D".

The "Matrix" classes are used to selectively transform some (but not all) the geometries. The "Group" class can be used to make logical groups of multiple geometries.


	Manual edition of the "Group" and "Matrix" classes in the "DB Class Management 3D" mode.

The 3D classes available in the basic package are:

•Group

•Matrix

Note:

The "Class Management (3D)" mode is not installed in sliceOmatic by default. It can be found under the "Additional Modes" section of the download page on the web site.
