Shrink compensation (scale) feature

S3D has only one setting for shrink compensation and it is a scale (XY) option for each imported part. It's very annoying to scale each part before print.
It would be a nice feature to store shrink compensation factors in FFF profile instead of choosing scale % for each imported part. These FFF factors should apply to scale % of each imported part.

You can setup an import action which will automatically scale every part you import. So if you always have to scale each part up to 100.5% or something like that, just setup an import action to do it automatically.

Thank you so much, I never saw these settings yet. But there's still not enough functionality because shrinkage % is a material parameter and it should be saved in FFF profile where all others material parameters are. If there's need to use different materials then it's still need to change scale % but one time at material change.
