Limiting height of prime pillar / ooze shield

After reading through the changes in 4.0, I see that you can now limit the height of the prime pillar and ooze shield. The question is how exactly? I've found that I can use the new variable settings wizard, pick a height, and turn these features off in the new split process. Is this the only way or is there an easier way? It seems counter productive to do it this way because the variable settings wizard doesn't let you modify grouped processes. Usually when you print with dual extrusion, it's nice to use grouped processes so you don't have to make changes to both. Would be nice if there was just a section within these settings to limit it to a specific layer or height.

Yup, I believe you use multiple processes to turn them off. You can just hit Ctrl-Shift-G to ungroup the processes, then make the change.

Re: Limiting height of prime pillar / ooze shield

Yeah, thank you. That was how I ended up doing it. Perhaps my question should have gone into the feature request section. I feel like it should just be listed in the ooze shield and prime pillar sections... "Limit height to **mm."
