You can also move the placement of dowels by clicking the orange circles and dragging them with the mouse.
Often the program will insert multiple dowels in your model, you can delete unnecessary dowels by clicking the orange circles that identify their position and deleting them. If you'd like to add dowel holes, select "Dowels" and set the diameter and shape of your dowel. Assembling your model will be much easier if you have a wooden dowel (or two) to hold the pieces together. Select a ring with the mouse and drag the small cone to the correct slice direction on your model.
When selecting this option, three rings will appear around the object with a small cone on each. Adjust your "Slice Direction" if your object is not oriented the way that you want. The standard is "Stacked Slices", but feel free to play around with other options to learn how they behave. Select your chosen "Construction Technique". Note that if you keep the "Uniform Scale" button selected, the software will maintain proportionality of your object so that when you change one dimension, the others will adjust accordingly. Adjust the size of your object under "Object Size". Ignore any error messages that pop up at this point. If you don't know the length and width of your materials you can edit them later in Inkscape, however it is very important that the thickness of the material is correct. Enter the length and width of the materials you will be cutting the model out of on the laser cutter, if you know them. Set the dimensions for the output files that you would like under "Manufacturing Settings". Open 123D Make and click "Import", then select your model file.
