Inside-Out not working consistently - What to do?

Hello,

I am trying to produce products that require all tracks to run inside-out. If I cannot get Simplify3D to agree to do this, some parts to my design will need to be produced using injection molding, which I am trying very hard to keep from doing.

As this design encompasses parts to a product that will be marketed, I cannot get too much into particulars and cannot give drawings or STL files on it. What I can do is try and describe in simple terms what is going on.

If I were trying to build a flat-topped, hollow pyramid upside down, and had to do this without any support other than a raft, the obvious problem would be to tie all tracks together without going outside any existing tracks more than a previous track can support. Using the inside-out feature of Simplify3D, one would think, would bind all other settings such as infill to this requirement - Which does not seem to work as I would expect it to. I may need to produce a script or perhaps alter some settings someplace, but whatever Simplify3D might need to do this, I would appreciate someone explaining this to me.

Thanks.

Re: Inside-Out not working consistently - What to do?

The inside-out option is for the outlines. It does not affect the infill, supports, solid layers, etc. So feel free to add as many outline perimeters as you want, but that's what that options controls.
