Hi, new here. I've been trying to simulate additive manufacturing tool paths generated by CAM software by modifying the supplied samples. I have been able to pull the bead dimensions out of the NC program, but after setting the initial bead dimensions, cannot change them using the 'Spray' functions for programs with multiple bead sizes. I have found 'Spray_add', 'Spray_clear', 'Spray_On' and 'Spray_Off', but haven't found anything like 'Spray_Modify'. If I call spray add multiple times, it just adds the beads together, which I guess makes sense since you are really creating a cloud of spray droplets. Would I have to create a tool for every unique set of bead dimensions and use 'WeldOn' and 'WeldOff'? - Best regards, Bob

When you call Spray_Add you'll obtain a unique ID which is the identifying of that simulated spray. You can optionally pass this ID to Spray_SetState to change the state.

You can find more information about how to customize the simuation of the Spray objects here:

If you can send us a sample project we may be able to help you better.
