Bleed

Setting bleeding values greater then '0' in the x, y, z text boxes affects the bleeding dimension of the component according to its face layout.

For this operation use metric values. The values refer to the original dimension of the imported component.

Positive values reduce the original component dimensions inwards. Negative values bleed out of the sampling cube.

It is recommended to use the bleed option to create connectivity for 3D printing.

Steps

1. Load a component.

2. Select a flipping option from the Component Settings console.

Options

Bleed Values

Use the mouse wheel to change Bleed values in real time. Scrolling with the Mouse Wheel will change the value (0.01 increment) when the mouse is over the text box. Hold the Shift and use the Mouse Wheel to change the values faster (1.0 increment).

Bleed along X axis - Enlarges / Reduces component's dimensions along Y axis

Original component Bleed value in x axis = -0.1 Bleed value in X axis = 0.1

Bleed along Y axis - Enlarges / Reduces component's dimensions along Y axis

Original component Bleed value in Y axis = -0.1 Bleed value in Y axis = 0.1

Bleed along Z axis - Enlarges / Reduces component's dimensions along Z axis

Original component Bleed value in Z axis = -0.1 Bleed value in Z axis = 0.1
