Project / Workplane names on Workplane

[jamesjoyce2208]

Hello. I'm new to the whole world of CAD for 3D printing (and, in fact, 3D printing itself) and stumbled across this project while looking at TinkerCAD discussions. I'm really happy with what seems to be a tremendous product and I'm now working with (or, at least, learning) Layerling.

One minor thing (which I'm more than willing to accept is a 'me' thing) is the text at the base of the workplane:

I find them to be distracting when using a more bold colour for the workplane lines - and very hard to read when using a lighter colour.

The project name is at the top of the screen anyway, and I will always know the workplane configuration, so they're superfluous for me.

Does anyone know of a method to avoid having these things displayed? I did look for a "don't show text" setting of some sort but didn't find anything.

Thank you.

Welcome, @jamesjoyce2208, and not just a "you" thing - fair point. 1.53.0 has a switch for it: Settings → Appearance → Plate labels. Switched off, the design's name and the printer's name and build volume are no longer written on the plate.

If you find layerling useful, a small donation helps me keep improving it. Thank you! 🙂

Good god, that was quick :-D
Thank you very much indeed. I sent a (admittedly not large) paypal payment about an hour ago, before writing the original post. I will send more, when I can afford it.

@jamesjoyce2208, thank you so much for your donation - large or small, every one helps, and it is very kind of you. One small correction to my reply above: the switch is moving to Settings → Workplane, right below the printer, where it fits better. That comes with the next update; in 1.53.0 it is still under Appearance.

@jamesjoyce2208, this is out in 1.54.0: the "Plate labels" switch now sits in the settings under Workplane, right below the printer whose name it shows.

That's great stuff. Cheers.
