How to customize 3D model settings in PrintUP (from this page)

The live page body is short; the on-page "Video Transcript" block is the step source. Raw auto-caption is not copied in full; no transcript invented. Cleaned steps from that live block:

  1. This Part 4 is 3d Model Settings / customize the 3D model settings in PrintUP, named as looking at the most universal settings related to adding new 3D channel models.
  2. Open Model / Create word model. Add a letter (the live block uses A) and choose a font (the live block names real black as a large font).
  3. The first two settings named on the live block: italic and thickening (described as bolding). Some fonts do not allow italic, and some fonts do not allow thickening.
  4. Under model parameter, the live block names model size (overall size) and model height (the actual height of the model).
  5. Add a base / standard letter with nothing special. The live block example is height 10 with 20, actual size 20.
  6. Chamfer (the live block names champ / cha): set distance and height (the live block example uses height 3). The live block shows this as bubbling / bevelling the top edges so the text can stand out.
  7. Passivisation / bottom preservation: the live block enables bottom preservation and shows a more rounded version of the chamfer.
  8. Importing graphics also gets similar options after enabling them (model height, chamfer, and per). Custom imported models do not get those options here; the live block says those are done in the actual 3D packaging software.
  9. Recap from the live closer: softwaretraining.co.za search (top right) and the on-site request-a-training-video form if a video is missing. Avia next on this URL is a different series INDEX at https://softwaretraining.co.za/channel-letter-layout (pretty slug printed; not invented; not fetched).
