The utilization of Icarus starts with the procedure for importing a 3D model in order to generate the slices and the printing pattern. This is done by clicking the button "Import" in the upper left group as shown in the picture. By clicking this button a new window will open, allowing the user to select a 3d Model of the following formats:

In this documentation we will use a simple box with a rectangular base to demonstrate the functionalities offered by the software.
Once we have imported an entity, a new window will be displayed on the left, divided in two sections: the upper part shows the different entities that compose the project.
The lower part will display the newly imported entity, that need to be placed in the "Print" folder before doing any further operation.

In order to move the imported entity in the Print folder the user have to double click it in the Imported Entity List.
After that, the entity is moved.

When the desired entity is under the Print folder the user must press "Ok" button to confirm the importation.
Now the entity is correctly imported and ready to be modified, and therefore to perform the Slicing when all the necessary modifications are done.
