[FIXED] Variable layer height muli-process doesn't line up

You can see the process I made to make this happen and the results here:

If you set up multi-processes and change the layer height of each process, it is possible for a gap to appear between layers.

My guess is that the layers are being calculated from the build plate, and not the bottom of the process, and when they don't line up just right there's a chance that the result will be a gap.

Re: Variable layer height with muli-process doesn't line up

Just wanted to add a quick note to mention that Version 4.0.1 made many improvements to the Variable Settings Wizard, including better support for a wider range of setups to ensure there is always a smooth transition between different processes. The factory file that you posted now slices correctly without any gaps between layers.

Thank you for reporting the problem!
