Manual / Detailed Documentation / User Guide

Does this exist? Seems like there should be a "help" section or pdf manual listing maybe at least a paragraph or so of details on each option listed in all of the tabs in the advanced section. I've seen this http://jinschoi.github.io/simplify3d-docs/ and the tutorials and videos, but those don't cover a lot of the features. Is there something newer, for the latest version, and issued by S3D?

If not, I request this be added.

Re: Manual / Detailed Documentation / User Guide

There's a lot of stuff out there. Here's what I would start with (in order from beginner to advanced)

http://jinschoi.github.io/simplify3d-docs/ (although this is a little outdated now)

Re: Manual / Detailed Documentation / User Guide

A wiki has been suggested. I thought it was a good idea at the time.......and it is a very good idea now: :)

Re: Manual / Detailed Documentation / User Guide

Agreed that there is a lot of stuff out there. It's just that it should be more centralized, thorough, and official (coming from the company that develops the software).

A free software package shouldn't have a better manual (http://manual.slic3r.org/) than paid software.
