Model Files Buttons - The three buttons above the time
estimate allow you to Load model files, Save the current model
and settings to a model file, or Share your model file on the
internet.
Model Manipulation Buttons - The three buttons at the bottom
left of the 3D view allow you Rotate the model in three
dimensions, Enlarge or Shrink the model size, or Flip the model in
three dimensions. Click one of these buttons to reveal additional options.
Rotate - When you click the Rotate button,
three colored circles are displayed around
your model. The Green circle allows rotation
in the X axis, the Yellow controls the Y axis,
and the Red controls the Z axis. Click one of
the circles and drag to rotate within the
specified axis. Additionally, it reveals the Lay
Flat and Reset buttons above the Rotate button.
Lay Flat - Click the Lay Flat icon to ensure that the flat portion of your print is securely
attached to the build platform. It is highly recommended to do this after rotating the
model in any axis.
Reset - Click the Reset button to return the model its original orientation.
Scale - When you click the Scale button the scale dialog is displayed, along with the To
max and Reset buttons. The dialog allows you
to resize the model as a proportion of the
original size or using absolute measurements.
By default, Uniform scale is enabled, which
ensures that the amount of scaling in one
dimension is mirrored in the other two
dimensions, ensuring that the model
proportions remain the same. Click the lock in
the lower right to disable Uniform scaling if
you want to scale the model differently in each
dimension.
