How do I increase build area?

I have a monoprice dual extrusion printer, a flash forge clone. I added an 8x10 glass build plate, which is slightly bigger than the stock one. Because the printer is designed to use both extruders, it is designed to not use the far edges since only one extruder can hit that area. I'm only using the right extruder, and can gain another inch or so on that side. I'm using the monoprice preset setting in simplify 3d, how do I alter it to allow it to print one more inch on the right?
Thanks

Re: How do I increase build area?

Go to the G-Code tab and increase the XYZ build volume settings

You may also need to adjust the XYZ origin offset settings on that same tab if the red/green/blue XYZ origin indicator in 3D view doesn't match where your (0,0,0) position is in real life.
