how to set home z pos?

Hello all, new to the software and so far loving it. Have a little issue where I cant find the setting of the eeprom to configure my home z pos. I come from repetier which has it located in the printer settings and it shows you all the eeprom settings. The reason I need this is coming to the new software my extruder seems to be coming way to close the the bed and hitting the side before jumping onto the bed but it scrapes up the blue tape I use for adhesion. In repetier I gave the home pos a value of 1.65 to offset this. Is there any ways to access it on simplify3d?

To list what ive done is gone to the tools, machine and added the offset to the z but that doesn't make any difference.
Also I have been printing with advanced options of start printing at 1.65 however that does fix the problem and it doesn't crash but it does chop off the first 1.65 mm of the model and brim and raft settings.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: how to set home z pos?

I believe what you are looking for is the Z-axis global gcode offset (on the G-Code tab). If you enter 0.2mm as the Z-axis offset, it will move the nozzle 0.2mm further away from the bed while printing.
