How to look at the PrintUP layout (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 1 is Layout Overview / the basic layout of PrintUP, named as looking at which sections of the programme specialise in what.
  2. Main menu (the live block points at the top File / Edit menu). The live block calls this one of the more important menus people overlook; in PrintUP not every option lives only there.
  3. Transform panel / transform toolbar: used to transform 3D objects.
  4. Finalising tools / finalising toolbar: used once the product is done or when previewing.
  5. Viewport navigation / 3D viewport: used often to visualise what is happening. The live block also names another 3D viewport on the preview, with similar settings and navigation.
  6. Information panels / setting panels: Model list and Print setup. Different settings appear depending on which panel is selected.
  7. Catch from the live block: if a model is selected but you are on Print setup instead of Model list, you will not see the relevant information (the live block uses scale on a model as the example).
  8. On Model list, an information panel pops up at the bottom depending on which tool is selected, so those settings can be adjusted.
  9. Quick test from the live block: add a letter; with that model selected, Move / Scale / Rotate options appear.
  10. Recap from the live block: main menu on top, transform toolbar, finalising toolbar, 3D viewport, information panels (model list and print setup), plus extra settings at the bottom when transforming under Model list. The live closer also names softwaretraining.co.za search (top right) and the on-site request-a-training-video form if a video is missing.
