Splitting
Objects into
Components
Youcanconvertacomplexobjecttoanassemblyofcomponentparts.Todo
so,yousplitthestlfilethatrepresentstheobjectintoagroupofseparatestl
files,eachonerepresentingacomponent.(ThisisreferredtointheObjet
Studiointerfaceasseparatingtheobjectintoshells.)Youcanthenassigna
modelmaterialtoeachstlfile,andyoucansavethenewly-createdassembly
asanobjdffile.
Tosplitanobjectintoanassemblyofcomponentparts:
1. Iftheobjectisnotdisplayed,placeitonthebuildtraybyinsertingitsstl
file(see"PlacingObjectsontheBuildTray"onpage5-12).
Theobjectappears—onthebuildtrayandinthemodeltreepane—asa
singlepart.Itisassigned,bydefault,the“primary”modelmaterial.(If
ObjetStudioisconfiguredwithasecondarymaterial,youcanassignit—or
adigital material—totheentireobject.Thisisexplainedin"Model-
MaterialSettings"onthenextpage.)
