3D Print dialog structure option is grayed out. Can only select one body from one component.

Is there a way to select multiple bodies (from multiple components) to print?

Structure option seems to be grayed out.

Hi @sick.yoon,

 

Try selecting Top browser node.

If you can see my screenshot, I already selected top browser node. Also your structure option seems to be grayed out as well.

The preview mesh has to be turned on.

Well, preview mesh doesn't help you selecting multiple bodies. You can only select bodies from one component.

Sorry, I just misread the post.

 

When you say selecting top browser is not highlighting bodies/components in the browser, it stays 'Grayed out'.

Its an expected behavior.

When we select top browser node, we should be able to see all the Visible bodies/components in the UI gets highlighted.

 

To select only specific bodies/Components.

Hide the bodies/Components that you don't want to print and then select the top root browser to 3d Print.

Only visible bodies will be sent to 3d Print.

Yes, I understand but that isn't the question I am asking. I want to know
how I could select multiple bodies (possibly from different components)
together when selecting bodies from 3d print dialog.
It only let you select one body.

We are allowed to select 1 instance of either top browser or one component or 1 body in 3D print.

 

To know what you would like to print.

Can you please share the design *.f3d and show which parts you would like to send for 3D print.

Hello,

 

Don't use the 3D Print tool in that case. Right click on the component in the browser and choose "Save as Mesh". Only visible bodies will be exported.
