Visualizing the Overhang Analysis

ALM Overhang Analysis lets you visualize the draft direction on a structure to identify whether and where supports are required to print the 3D model.

  1. Select the elements to be analyzed.
  2. Specify the threshold angle.
  3. Define the printing direction:
    OptionDescription
    User Lets you position and manipulate the Robot on the structure. You can click Reverse direction to reverse the direction of the Robot.
    Feature Lets you select a feature as the direction.
    • The yellow color shows the threshold angle that requires the use of supports.
    • The green color shows the surfaces that are contained within the tolerance area.
    • The red color shows the surfaces that are perpendicular to the printing direction.


    Tip: You can modify the color code by clicking any color square.
