What I plot with Hanging

Frequently asked questions

Where is Hanging in the menu?

Add Object → Simulation → Hanging

What can I adjust?

Start with the key controls above, then fine-tune everything else in the right sidebar inside Studio.

Is this non-destructive?

Objects live on layers as elements. You can edit parameters anytime; delete the element to remove it.

Does Hanging work with multi-pen plotting?

Yes. Use Pen Palette on a layer to split linework by color, or set per-path ink on modifiers like Offset.

Try Hanging

Open 3DPlotter Studio, follow the steps above, and export a test plot. Lifetime V3 access is €29.90. Creator Bundle (€39.90) adds Map to Pen Plot, String Art, Wax Seal, and 3D Model to SVG.
