Basic Modeling

Modeling in Cubie is addictive and simple. You are placing 3D pixels (voxels) on a grid.

Tools

Block (Place)

• Shortcut: 1
• Action: Click on the grid or an existing voxel face to add a block.
• Color: Select a color from the left palette to paint while you build.

Break

• Shortcut: 2 (or hold Alt)
• Action: Click a voxel to remove it.

Best Practices for Printing

1. Avoid Floating Blocks: Ensure all parts of your model are connected. Floating blocks will fail to print.
2. 45° Rule: Voxels naturally form 90° overhangs. While most printers can handle short bridges, try to build "staircases" for large overhangs to improve print quality and reduce the need for supports.
