Settings
Extra Decimal Places
Default is one.
Defines the number of extra decimal places export will output compared to the number of decimal places in the layer thickness. The higher the 'Extra Decimal Places', the more significant figures the output numbers will have.
Import Coarseness
Default is one.
When a triangle mesh has holes in it, the triangle mesh slicer switches over to a slow algorithm that spans gaps in the mesh. The higher the 'Import Coarseness' setting, the wider the gaps in the mesh it will span. An import coarseness of one means it will span gaps of the perimeter width.
Layer Thickness
Default is 0.4 mm.
Defines the thickness of the layer, this is the most important cleave setting.
Layers
Cleave slices from bottom to top. To get a single layer, set the "Layers From" to zero and the "Layers To" to one. The layer from until layer to range is a python slice.
Layers From
Default is zero.
Defines the index of the bottom layer that will be cleaved. If the layer from is the default zero, the carving will start from the lowest layer. If the 'Layers From' index is negative, then the carving will start from the 'Layers From' index below the top layer.
Layers To
Default is a huge number, which will be limited to the highest index layer.
Defines the index of the top layer that will be cleaved. If the 'Layers To' index is a huge number like the default, the carving will go to the top of the model. If the 'Layers To' index is negative, then the carving will go to the 'Layers To' index below the top layer.
Mesh Type
Default is 'Correct Mesh'.
Correct Mesh
When selected, the mesh will be accurately cleaved, and if a hole is found, cleave will switch over to the algorithm that spans gaps.
Unproven Mesh
When selected, cleave will use the gap spanning algorithm from the start. The problem with the gap spanning algothm is that it will span gaps, even if there is not actually a gap in the model.
Perimeter Width
Default is two millimeters.
Defines the width of the perimeter.
Examples
The following examples cleave the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and cleave.py.
> python cleave.py
This brings up the cleave dialog.
> python cleave.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl
The cleave tool is parsing the file:
