Live Progress Preview

Hi,
pretty new here. I've been printing for a while using various slicing software and I must say Simplify3D is really cool.
And as far as Simplify3D newbies go, does anyone know if it's possible to preview the progress of the print in the main window? (Sorry if it's been asked before)
If it's not possible, I'd really love to see this in one of the next releases.
Cheers

Re: Live Progress Preview

I'm curious about this too. It appears that live view is not an option, am I missing something?

Re: Live Progress Preview

I believe live preview happens by default when you click Print over USB. Have you tried to run a print yet?

It should be, if for some reason the print preview window doesn't appear after you prepare a print, you can enable the option. For Mac it can be found in the upper toolbar by going to Simplify3D -> Preferences, and in the Preferences window, the option is under the Visualization tab.
