Somewhere it's got a setting in the firmware (or the S3D treatment of it) that is treating the print head like there is a nozzle in the center, where it used to be, and all of the prints from the left (Tool 0) extruder are exactly 15.5 mm to the left of center. The alignment is good between the two nozzles, obviously i need to fiddle with the Tool Change script a bit (square below was printed with the S3D default.) But I can't seem to find the entry for the X-Offset that moves the print to the center of the bed. (That's not a question, just an observation.)ģ. If you turn both the extruders on, you need separate command codes to kill the temps for each extruder, or one of them stays on. It does everything else except kill that extruder fan. And using M107 S0 does nothing either.Īnyway, S3D is not recognizing that M108 code in my End Script anymore. The G-code definitions that I have list M107 as Fan Off, but the M108 code has been used successfully to stop that extruder fan, by turning off the extruder, since I've been here. Did the code to kill the extruder fan change from this, to something else? I'd just like to know if anyone else has seen them before i go do a major search in the trouble tickets over on the S3D forum.ġ. Okay, I've got a startup and ending script almost slapped together that i like, but I'm seeing a couple of issues that are a bit baffling. Need to figure out how to take the location of complicated models on site & represent the location in side plant - currently the location can be set by the imported xref.Ĭollision checking then performed in Navisworks. Currently the plant dwg is big - looks good in Navisworks but sluggish inside plant.

Presume the revit/inventor models are sent to Navisworks & the Plant Model sent to navis too, thinking about how the co ordinate systems are all tied together. Are imported models best avoided because of the performance hit? this looks like a way to keep everything a simple as possible. The tutorials I've seen appear to point to creating models from scratch using the tools within plant. With Inventor a sketch plane can be used & geometry projected & extruded - not sure how to keep the same co-ordinate system trying to copy the workflow in Autocad. Models imported from Inventor & Navisworks can be sizable - currently theses models are xrefs but when switched on performance is slow.Īny top tips for creating simple representations of imported model for plant 3d
