Parts or components that fit inside the bounding box are removed.

Specify the maximum diagonal value for a bounding box.

This is all for this post, I am slowly moving into the Cura tips and tricks (better say my tips and tricks) - as usual feel free to say what works for you, what is your work-around in your main software or in Revit. So rescaling the section box, you get to print in scale 1:400 and fit in the building plate. However, when we talk about site plans, a 1:400 would be desired therefore a 250% scale in cura would be ideal, however the site is a little too big for that, so, we will go back to revit and readjust with the section box.īut first, you can use the scale calculator to see what maximum sizes you would need. We therefore can conclude that our model is in 1:1000 scale at 100% in cura I have exported, as I said using meter units instead of mmĪlso, one can use online scale converters such as: Taking alternative 1 into consideration and our topography/massing examples we know the following:

We all know in architecture scale plays a big role – therefore this is another aspect that you need to pay attention to. Also, it will be good to be constant, if you start with meters, you need to keep it like that for the whole project so you don't get confused.

In the export settings, pay attention to the units the export is done in, that will play a major role when scaling in cura –and it will help you see where you are at. Remember it will export all elements in the view – if you don't want to see something – hide in view, and if you want to see 1 element of out 1000, you can isolate in view. You will want STL exporter version x – corresponding to the version of Revit you own. Search for stl and the following apps will appear: Go to the X (the blue and white one)- to open Autodesk app store Starting with revit 2018.3 Revit had the stl export as an add-in, however for those of you who work in older versions here is how you go about it.

The most confusing thing that you need to have covered is exporting the stl.
