If there are more than one Process profile created in the Processes window, the "Build Volume" geometry parameters in "Edit Process Settings" =>"Output" tab => "Machine Definition" will work just for the very top Process profile only.
The other "Build Volume" parameters for the Process profiles down below the 1st one will have no any effect at all regardless of what Length, Width & Height is set.
I took me a half of a day to figure out how hell I can setup my printer size in this software as I use the 2-nd Process profile that always made my part being printed with huge offset from the center of a building plate despite the Build Volume size specified. The instruction video refers to "Tools => Options => Machine" but this is not available in the interface of what I have(???!!!)
If the Build Volume was meant to be a global parameter what the heck it's doing in the profile settings menu???
Please address this issue.
Thanks.
Re: Bug "Build Volume" parameters have no effect.
You typically only need 1 process loaded in the list on the left. In some more advanced cases you have multiple processes for things like printing multiple models with different settings, but those would all still generally have the same build volume since you are printing them at the same time. So it's not really intended that you would have multiple processes with different build volumes.
Just to check, are you already using the built-in profile database in S3D? Just double click on your process and choose "Save As New". That will save those settings in the database. At that point you can delete all the processes except for one and use the "Select profile" option at the top to change to the correct printer.
