Feature: A button that allows user to select only visible models in the "Select Models" dialog under process settings
Implementation: Add "Select Visible" button next to "Select All" and "Select None" in "Select Models" dialog box under process settings
To get here:
1) Open S3D
2) Select a process and click "Edit Process Settings"
3) Click "Select Models" in bottom left corner
4) "Select Models" dialog box opens -- this is where "Select Visible" can be added next to "Select All" and "Select None"
Re: Select Visible Models in Model Selection Dialog for process
This could work well! Another idea could be that if the model is simply unchecked in the main view, it get's omitted from the slice. There are advantages to either of those suggestions.
Would you as a user be happier with one idea over the other?

Your suggestion as an alternative option sounds like a sensible solution. I'm sure there's other advantages and/or uses where this form of exclusion would be useful.

Re: Select Visible Models in Model Selection Dialog for process
That alternative approach would not work when there are multiple processes for different models. How would you know which process would be involved in the slicing of visible models?
I think that a simple "Select Visible" button would work wonders, and surprised this hasn't been implemented yet.
