Whether it's needed isn't the question I asked. It probably isn't needed, but I'm still curious.
What I asked is if it's possible to enable it in software - when I worked at Ultimaker I remember hearing something about the functionality being there and just being left disabled.

The S5 does about 25 probe points and it takes a while. So the "footprint" probing can save quite a bit of time.
With the UM3 I think maybe there's only 9 probe points? So you don't really need this feature. The UM3 only calibrates out z offset, and x and y tilt. The S5 creates a height map so there can be high and low spots on the glass and they are compensated for when it prints the bottom few mm.
Anyway I don't think "footpoint probing" makes sense for the UM3 leveling.
