I would like to view the preview in cross sectional Views w.r.t planes including mentioning the distance of cutting planes w.r.t Reference planes (co-ordinate system), so that I can know at what height I should stop or pause print at require height (cutting plane distance from cross sectional View). This feature is available in Simplify 3D. It would be very helpful if you let us know if this option is available here in Cura too. If yes, also please inform me how to use it.

    Cura has cross sectional views but *only* horizontal ones.  So you can use the vertical slider on the right side of PREVIEW and (for example - if you are inserting a nut) slide it up until you find the area for the nut and then where the model starts covering the nut.

     

    Also the vertical slider has a second control at the bottom so you can remove the bottom of the part as well and look at your part in cross section from below.

     

    However, I agree a vertical cross section view would be really really nice!

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
