Theobjectappears—onthebuildtrayandinthemodeltree—asan
assemblyofparts(“shells”).Youcanassigneachpartadifferentmodel
material(Thisisexplainedin“Model‐MaterialSettings”onpage 20).

BeforeplacingobjectsonthebuildtrayinObjetStudio,youshouldpay
attentiontothematerialselectionsettingsontheTraySettingsribbon.

• Bydefault,thematerialselectionsettingsontheribboncorrespondto
thetwomodelcontainersloadedintheprinter.
• Thematerialsdisplayedarebasicmodelmaterials.Thesematerialscan
laterbecombinedtocreatedigitalmaterials(see“DigitalMaterials”on
page 22).
• Thematerialdisplayedonthetop(VeroBlack,inthefigureabove)is
consideredtheprimarymodelmaterial(“Model‐1”).Itisassignedto
objectsthatdonothaveamaterialassignmentwhenyouplacethemon
thebuildtray.Forexample,sincestlfilesdonotcontaininformation
aboutthemodel
material,ObjetStudioassignstheprimarymodel
materialtothem.Also,ifyoutry toinsertobjdffileswhoseassigned
materialsarenotrecognizedbyyourversionofObjetStudio,youcan
insertthefilebysubstitutingtheprimarymodelmaterialforthe
missingmaterials.
