Hi All,
It would be very good if there was an option to reimport a model when its stl has been changed. At the moment, when I change a model's stl, I have to remove the model and then reimport it which loses any scaling/positioning/rotating I may have done to the model. So a simple menu option or button to reimport the selected model would be great.
Cheers,
Mark

Re: Feature request: option to reimport model
+1 - I do a lot of fidling with original STL file and then checking how it slices. (enjoying the fast slicing of S3D!)
Re: Feature request: option to reimport model
Ditto!
To go one step further, it would be awesome to have auto-reload. That is, if the file is re-written it should (optionally) be reloaded automatically. This would make the modeling/slicing workflow frictionless!
What i do a lot is model, load into S3D, slice and preview, tweaking the model and settings until it slices well, then I print it. The more that process is automatic, the better. What I'm imagining is that when I tweak and re-export a model, it would automatically reload in S3D (with current position, rotation, scale, settings, etc.) and then I can re-slice. That'd save a bit of work!

Re: Feature request: option to reimport model
+1, popup a window that says "file on disk has changed, do you want to update?"
