What represents the grey area around a model?

What represents the grey area around a model? I thought initially it's because of a brim around the model, but in the profile the brim width = 0 and build plate adhesion = None

Thanks a lot

If you have Special Modes | Print Sequence | "One at a time" enabled then it's the area your print head takes up.  You can't put another part in the gray or the print head will hit it when it lowers to print the next part.  That's actually true for people who bother to keep the Print Head size and Gantry Height up to date in the settings.  Disallowed areas for brim/skirt are around the periphery and if you have them shut off then the gray doesn't show.

 

With that piece you're printing another model would have to be the shape of a piece of linguini.  (I was going to say spaghetti but that's a bad word in 3d printing.)

Thanks a lot, now I understand. I did not intend to print a second "linguini":) model in the same print
