Generate Supports on Face of Cube

#1

Brand new user of Formware. I’m really impressed with professionalism of the product compared to its competitors. I am just experimenting with a cube and trying to get supports on the face on the cube not just the edges. Can’t seem to do it. Cube was rotated with Auto Orientation. Could I get a suggestion from the forum on what needs to be done? thx much

Figured out that making critical angle parameter high enough would do it.

Hi,

Thanks for the compliment.

Yes you are right. The angle should be high enough to be able to detect the faces as critical.

It should place 1 support on the absolute minimum.
the other points should be place just a little next to the edge; to keep your edge sharp.

Might also make sense maybe to put points on a cube on a grid to keep them evenly distributed. (point sampling option)
