Dual Extrusion Wizard

So I have designed 2 .stl files that when opened up in S3D one at a time align perfectly, I open the dual printing wizard and the objects break apart and re-align as separate items.

Is this correct, and how do I stop this from happening?

TIA

I might have sussed it.

First thing I did was to export the stl files individually from within S3D. That made the alignment (origin) a little better after throwing the dual print wizard switch. Not perfect - but at least both objects remained on the build plate now.

Then I ungrouped the objects, aligned them how I wanted and then grouped them again, This time they stayed put.

This wizard seems to be a little hit and miss tbh,

If the models import correctly aligned, you need to uncheck the Group and Align Models option of the Dual Extrusion Wizard. To move your models as a set without adjusting the alignment you may group the models after running the wizard.
