Parameters

For reference, see Figure 1.

Figure 1. A scan pattern with four pattern patches.

Slice Height
Height of slice for scan pattern.
OriAX, OriAY, OriAZ, OriBX, OriBY, OriBZ, OriCX, OriCY, OriCZ
X-, Y-, and Z-coordinates of points a, b, and c for defining the orientation of the build system I–J–K and its origin. Point c is the origin of the system, point a must lie on the I-axis, and point b must lie on the I–J plane. Although not necessary, it is intuitive to select point b such that it is on or near the local J-axis.
Total/Step Time
Set to "TotalTime" to indicate that the print start and end times are in total time. Set to "StepTime" to indicate that the print start and end times are in step time.
Start Time, End Time
Print start and end times.
