Interlocking distance from the outside

How many cells next to the outer surface are left without beams, so the teeth can't be seen from outside.

How it works

If the beams went all the way to the outer wall, the border between colors would look jagged. Leaving the cells closest to the outside free (2 by default) keeps the joint hidden inside, and the face of the part shows a clean border.

With 0, the teeth reach the surface.

When to change it

  • For almost everything: 2 (default).
  • A part with very thick walls whose joint still fails: 1.
  • A decorative part where you want the teeth to show, like a zigzag between two colors: 0.
