Z offset? Custom Gcode questions

Hello All,

I have been looking and looking for some things and I just can not find the Z offset setting? Is there one? Or do I have to do it the old fashioned way.
With a G1 Z[Offset]
G92 Z0

Another question does this support Gcode drop in variables such as
M104 S[first_layer_temperature] ;

Then when it makes the gcode it replaces [first_layer_temperature] with the correct value.

Thank you

I should have mentioned this in the other post, but yes, Z-offset is high on our list and should be added soon. It's not in there right now, but you can always move the part up 0.1mm off the build table if you want to start printing slightly above the surface.

And we don't allow drop-in variables right now. Our goal has been to do anything that would require that level of functionality automatically so that you don't have to mess with it. If there's some particular scenario where you really need something like this, let us know so we can see if there's an easy method to solve it.
