I added Volume under Add Object → 3D. Wrap a solid in contour bands with hidden-line removal.
How to use Volume
- Open Studio → Add Object → 3D → Volume
- A live Volume element is added to the active layer
- Tune parameters in the element card in the right sidebar (live preview on the canvas)
- Export plot-ready G-code when satisfied
Menu path: Add Object → 3D → Volume
Key controls
- Form: sphere, options: Sphere, Torus, Cone...
- Wrap: horizontal, options: Around, Over the top, Both
- Bands: 28 (2-120 step 1)
- Smoothness: 120 (8-400 step 4)

Tune form, wrap, bands, smoothness, and size in the right sidebar. Open Studio to see every control.
Shuffle (in the element card) re-rolls: form, wrap, bands, resolution, thickness, hiddenLine, showOutline.
What I plot with Volume
- Pen-plotter art on Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, and other pen-holder setups
- Layered linework exported as G-code with pen-up travel
- Combined with other V3 objects and modifiers in the same document
Frequently asked questions
Where is Volume in the menu?
Add Object → 3D → Volume
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 Volume 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.
