Plugins¶
A plugin adds something not everyone needs, such as screws, textures or a link to your printer. Most are on out of the box.
| Plugin | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Extra Parameters | Sliders, groups and saved sets of values |
| Fasteners | Screws, nuts, washers and inserts |
| Surface Texture | Knurling, ribs and other real textures |
| Node Bodies | Smooth solids built from sized points |
| 3D Printing Toolbox | Holes and edges that print without supports |
| Printer connection | Open a part in your slicer and send jobs |
| Printed look | Layer lines in the Realtime view |
| Multi-material | Filament slots, off by default |
| Game controller | Navigate with a gamepad |
| 3D mouse | Navigate with a 3D mouse |
Turn one on or off in Edit, Preferences, Plugins. Off does not delete anything, and your work comes back when you switch it on. Remove deletes the plugin from your computer, and keeps its settings unless you tick Remove forgets its settings.
A plugin's own settings are under its row: click Settings to open them. The search box finds a setting in any plugin, the arrow beside a changed setting puts it back, and Reset to defaults puts back all of that plugin's.
To install one, press Install under Made by FundaCAD, or use Add a plugin with a web address or a file.
