VisCAM Help 4.0
As a default all parts contained within the build envelope are used for building slices. The slice
contours are generated separately for every part. Thus parts can be separately edited or
positioned after the slice generation.
If parts have been selected before the slice generation it is possible to generate slices only for
the these ones or for all parts.
In this case a dialog shown as above is displayed before generating slices.
After the slice generation has finished VisCAM automatically activates the slice module and
displays the created slices of the workspace (i.e. Slices).
The actual 3D data is not deleted but remains within the workspace. Using the functions
Triangles and Slices it is possible to switch between the different representations.
If there are already slices within the workspace a dialog box is presented asking whether the
slices can be overwritten. If so the slice data is overwritten, otherwise a new workspace is
created for the generated slices.
