Identifier

Identifier

Identifier attaches a small text label to the inside of a ring, joined by a thin cylindrical rod — so after printing and casting, every piece on the tree can still be told apart.

In the command panel you set:

  • The text and its size — a reference, a size, a client code.
  • The rod — its thickness, and its start and end points, so you can route it clear of critical features like holes or engravings.

The result is an Artisan object, not a loose mesh: it appears in the Outliner with its own row, and Edit there (or ArtisanEdit on it) reopens the panel with the same ring, points and parameters. Accept replaces the tag; closing the panel keeps the original.

It earns its keep the moment a tray carries the same model in several sizes: without a tag, six waxes of the same ring are indistinguishable. The Ring Resizer can also add reference tags to each size it generates, in its Ref tab.
