Global Offset tag in profiles

Hi. I'm just wondering what the tag is to enable saving "Global G-Code Offsets" per material in the profile file. Unfortunately I've discovered that the Flexplate system has a thermal expansion property and the simplest way to adjust this would be with that offset. It varies with temperature and is why I'd like to associate it with my material presets. Either that or adding something to the starting script would work too. Thanks everyone.

Re: Global Offset tag in profiles

sure, just add the <gcodeZoffset> tag into each <autoConfigureMaterial> section. There's lots of other threads on this forum about how to do this for other settings that people wanted to control based on the material selection.

Re: Global Offset tag in profiles

Thanks Brian. Yes, these tags are key for me as to why I appreciate S3D so much. I've got quite a few enabled for material specific settings. For some reason I missed this one...though now that I searched the .fff while modifying it, I found it. Go figure.
