Programming Interlayers Before Copilot 3.16: Interlayer Mesh Method

On Copilot versions under 3.16.0, interlayers have to be set up by hand: you create the interlayer as a multipick box, replace the automatic gripper model with a smaller mesh, and model the gripper with a collision bounding box. This article walks through those three steps.

For Copilot 3.16.0 and above, please refer to this article :

How to Program Rigid Interlayers Using the Multipick Feature

If under copilot 3.16.0 :

To manage interlayers and see them in the interface you need to : 

 1/Create the box "interlayer" using multipick

 2/Replace the automatic gripper model by smaller model

 3/modelise your gripper with a bounding box.

1/ Create the " box interlayer" using multipick

2/ - Replace the automatic gripper model with a smaller model

You need to point to a PLY through this function :

3/ Modelise your gripper with a bounding box.
