Case Editor
Add lids and precise cutouts to the enclosure. Use keyboard shortcuts to move and fine‑tune placements.
Before you start
- Set a Wall thickness in Case (right drawer) so the case can be shown.
- Open the Case Editor from the Preview tab when available.
- Add at least one lid before placing cutouts. The HUD will prompt “Pick Face Lid” if none exist.
Tools
- Pick Face Lid: choose Top, Bottom, or a numbered Side to add a lid.
- Round: place round holes (diameter and tolerance controls in the tool panel).
- Rect: place rectangular cutouts (width, height, corner radius).
- Slot: place slotted holes (width, length, corner radius).
- D‑Key: place D‑shaped cutouts (diameter, flat depth, tolerance, angle).
- Connector: placeholder for a future connector library.
Face selection and tweaks
- Pick a face, then place features with a click.
- Use the top HUD “Slide” control to offset the lid preview for visibility.
- Manage lids and cutouts in the left Case sidebar (remove lids, edit or delete cutouts).
Keyboard controls
- T selects Top; B selects Bottom; numbers 1‑9 select Side faces.
- Arrow keys nudge a selected cutout. Hold Shift for 5 mm steps, Alt for 0.1 mm.
- Delete/Backspace removes the selected cutout.
- Esc closes the active tool, or exits Case Editor if none is active.
Apply and export
- When you finish editing a cutout, Apply it in the tool panel; pending items are listed until applied.
- Exports include case/lids via the backend and optional spacer STLs. See the Exports section for formats.
