New User looking for g-code preview and edit capability

Just purchased my first 3D printer and bought S3D based on reviews read on various forums and YouTube channels. Prior to using S3D, I was using Repetier host and I liked the ability to preview (and edit if needed) the g-code that was generated by the slicer. Am I completely blind or is that feature not available in this application?

Re: New User looking for g-code preview and edit capability

They have so many scripting options built into S3D, that I've pretty much always been able to use that. Plus they let you edit all of the various scripts for startup, cool down, layer change, retraction, and tool change.

But I guess if you wanted to actually read through the gcode, then yes, you'd have to export it and open it in a text editor
