question on combining all components in an assembly.

[dean448]

when you add components to an assembly those components show up as three items in Bambu Studio slicer. Which is handy because it allows you to colorize each component.
My question is can you combine all three in Alibre so they come over as one component? I understand that I can also combine them in the slicer. thanks

An assembly Boolean with all parts set as 'blanks' will generate a single part that is the sum of the components.

ok can I perform that function in Alibre Atom3D V27?

 

[DavidJ]

No - Boolean functions are not supported in Atom3D.

It does help if you mention the product level that you question refers to.

I'm only asking this question out of curiosity, because there have been requests in the past to add a "Using Alibre Atom" subforum, just below "Using Alibre Design".

If you had seen "Using Alibre Atom", would you have posted your question there, rather than here?

I've long thought that this might work better than expecting new members to create a custom signature, specifying that they are an Atom user.

That would help when you have the lower featured product. I knew it doesn’t do Boolean but I just wanted to confirm that I wasn’t missing something, since I have that feature in my free slicer. So it doesn’t seem like a premium feature. Adding product licensed to the profile might also help. Thanks for the quick reply btw.

You can export your assembly as a *.sat file.
Close the assembly workspace.
Import the *.sat file.
Now it is one component.
