Answer to Optional Test Problem

In this lesson, we will walk through the optional test problem for nTop Essentials, which asks you to create a Torus with a radius of 10 mm, a Torus radius of 4 mm, with its Center at 10 mm. Then, it asks you to translate the object 40 mm along the positive Y direction, convert that to a mesh with a tolerance of 1 mm, and export.

So, step one, I went into the Create tab, chose the Torus. We have that Center at 0, 1, 0 mm axis at 0, 0, 1, that default radius of 10 mm and a Torus radius of four.

Then, we are asked to translate that object and also change the color. So we can do that by just adding 40 into that Vector, so we have 0, 4 mm. And if I go into the Block Details, we can change the display color to anything you want. I chose pink.

Lastly, we put that translate object into that Mesh From Implicit Body with that tolerance of one, so that we can prepare to export this as a 3mf. The last step is just putting that mesh into this Export Mesh and saving that as a 3mf file by just clicking on that path and saving it where you want it to be. You don’t have to have variables for any of these; I just had that so we have them as their separate steps to better visualize the process. And that’s the answer to our optional test problem.
