Trunk

A trunk is the main grounded support column. It is the primary support type that starts from the build surface and rises toward the model.

What it is

• The support type that connects to Roots.
• The parent structure for attached supports such as branches and leaves.

Geometry

• Starts at Roots.
• Builds upward through one or more shaft segments.
• Uses joints when the support needs angle changes.
• Ends in a contact cone at the model.

Behavior

• New trunks start vertical by default.
• The length adjusts automatically to the placement height.
• The trunk base stays anchored in the Roots interface.

Constraints

• A trunk is the only support type that uses Roots as its base.
• The first segment above Roots must preserve the trunk-to-root connection.
