Place the QR codes on the model

Goal: mark where each printed code will be on the real object.

First, choose where the codes go​

Under Code is, choose one:

OptionThe printed code…Good for
On the modelIs glued onto a face of the object, printed side out.Objects with a large flat face.
Under the modelLies on the table or floor, printed side up, with the object standing on it.Objects without a flat face, or that you can't stick anything on.

Steps​

  1. Open step 4 Place.

  2. Choose On the model or Under the model.

  3. Choose a code in the Marker list.

  4. Left-click in the preview where the code should be: on a face of the model, or on the floor. For Under the model, you can also press Centre Under the Model.

  5. Turn the code if needed with the Turn code buttons (-90°, -5°, +5°, +90°). The top of the code points up the screen.

    Step 4 Place with a code placed on the model

  6. Repeat for every code.

  7. Check under All markers that the tool says Markers lie in one plane.

  8. Press Next.

Adjust a code​

With a code selected:

  • Position (mm) moves it precisely.
  • Turn code turns it.
  • Unplace takes it off the model. It stays in the list, so you can place it again.

Good to know​

  • All codes must lie on one flat surface, because they're printed on one sheet. If they don't, the tool says Markers are not in one plane and won't print.
  • Remember how each code is turned. On the real object, each code must face the same way as in the preview. The printed sheet helps: it keeps all codes in the right position and direction.
