How to embed an object?

Hello,

I have two 3mf files. One is an insert for a homelab rack and the other is a single keystone. Is there a way that I can put the keystone on the front panel of the insert?

I feel like I saw a guy do something similar when he made a tray for a pair of pliers. He cut one file into another. Its been so long since I saw that video and I can not find it any more.

Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the forum.

Yes this is easy to do by changing the part type to a “negative”. You will need to export the one part as an STL and then import it into the other .3mf file as a negative part. Select “Load” as shown in the image below.


Further info can be found in the Wiki.

if you don’t do like that, then you have to merge objects to be able to lift them around
