In one example, an apparatus comprising a controller to instruct a build platform to support a plurality of layers of build material in a build zone, wherein the build platform is moveable during a build of a three-dimensional object to change the size of the build zone, wherein the controller is to determine respective displacements of the build platform to successively receive each of the plurality of layers of build material in the build zone during the build, wherein at least one of the respective displacements is based on data determined from a three-dimensional object obtained in a previous build.
