The Solid Analyzation tab contains settings that determine the procedure for analyzing a 3D solid model to convert it into a Microvellum product.

Material Thickness

Minimum and maximum thickness used to determine if a 3D model's thickness is within the acceptable range for analyzation.

Drill Hole Diameters

Minimum and Maximum drill hole diameter used to determine if a 3D solid with drill holes is within the acceptable range for analyzation.

Pocket Penetrating Cutouts

If a cutout machining sequence falls within the specified area, then the machining will use a pocket-machining token. Otherwise, machining uses a cutout machine token.

Part Size

Minimum and Maximum part length used to determine if a 3D solid with drill holes is within the acceptable range for analyzation.

Nonplanar Parts (Curved-Bent)

Part oversize adjustment for curved and bent parts.

Part Naming and Material

Determines the naming conventions for parts that the Solid Model Analyzer successfully analyzed.

Exception Part Color

Visual indicator for parts that did not successfully pass through the Solid Model Analyzer. The 3D representation of the part is set to the selected color upon analysis results if part analyzation is unsuccessful.

Miters

Determines whether miters are "draw only" or "draw and machine."

Tool Selection

A visual reminder of where to set the tool preferences for solids machining.

Arc Analyzation

Checkboxes that can assist in determining the level of precision that should be applied to arcs.

Bounding Box Precision- Enable this setting to recalculate the bounding box in a drawing with higher precision, potentially resolving issues with routes and curved parts.

Refine Lines-to-Arc- Enable this setting to refine the conversion between lines and arcs, resulting in minimal vectors for shallow arcs.
