About Built volume & Origin offset in Machine Definition of Delta robot type

Hi,

Can I ask a favor?
I used 2 types of 3D printer those are Caltesian type and Delta type.
When I use the Delta type, I choose Delta robot (cylindrical build volume) in Machine Definition tab of General Options.
But "Build volume" & "Origin offset" is same as Caltesian robot type, in spite of changing printing view to the cylindrical build view!!!
My Delta type 3d printer can build 350mm fai diameter in X/Y space, so I set the Build volume to 350/X-Axis and 350/Y-Axis and the Origin offset to 175/X-Axis and 175/Y-Axis. As a result, small size objects are OK to build, but big size(full X/Y size) objects are failed. When the big size object pirnting started, the print head thrusts into bed at the over rage of build space.
I found that why the X-Axis & Y-Axis should be set to (350mm fai)/SQR(2) each other!!
It is so danger and easy to make misleading for users.
I strongly request to Build volume parameters of Machene Definition tab should be changed to radius or diameter(Delta) instead of X/Y-axis(Caltesian).
I attached the summarization of my proposal.
I am expecting to refine about the Delta type settings in the future version!!

Thanks,
Yas
