Build Volume warnings - can they be acknowledged and then dismissed?

[robstern]

Build Volume warnings - can they be acknowledged and then dismissed so that they don't show on the screen?
This could be:

1. a one time (per Layerling session) acknowledgement
2. on a item by item basis. Each time a new shape is moved/put outside the build volume a warning would pop up, but then be dismissed
3. a system setting that can be on/off
4. some other option that I'm not thinking of at the moment.

I often use the space outside of the build volume as temp storage/workspace. It would be nice to be able to either prevent them completely or acknowledge them and then dismiss them?

The build volume warning probably should not overlap a window like Workspace Settings.

Thank you very much!!!

@robstern thanks, the item-by-item idea was the right one, and it is built now. In the next release the build volume message has a small cross: click it and the warning is gone for exactly the bodies it named, so your parked parts no longer keep it on screen. If another body sticks out later, or one of them fits again and you move it out a second time, the message comes back. It now also stays behind windows such as the workspace settings instead of lying on top of them.

Until the release is out, there is a way already: hidden bodies never count for the warning, so hiding the parked parts (Ctrl+H) makes it go away too.

Item-by-item is a perfectly logical implementation. It will be very helpful. Thank you.

Something to consider for a future feature... I believe that a "Workspace Setting" checkbox, maybe on the Workplan tab, for "Ignore objects not on the work plane." would be helpful. This could also be used with the file export - EXCEPT save to LVL - so that these unneeded objects are not saved to the 3d printing files.

The ctrl+h is helpful for eliminating the warning, but if I am actually working on one of those object, it can't be hidden. Also, If I have hidden several hidden objects inside and outside of the work plane, it then becomes inconvenient to unhide the individual objects I need to see.

Thank you again for the great program and the incredible speed that you make updates.

@robstern glad it helps. For the export there is a way already: with something selected, only the selection is exported. So select the parts on the plate (or drag a box around them) and export; the parked parts stay out of the file and stay visible.

For showing single hidden parts again, the object list helps: open it with the arrow next to the eye icon, and every part there has its own eye. One click shows just that part, the others stay hidden.

Together with the cross on the warning in the next release, that should cover parking parts beside the plate, so I would rather not add a separate setting for it.

@robstern the cross on the build volume warning is out in 1.94.0, body by body, and the warning no longer lies over windows like the settings. https://github.com/henmedia/layerling/releases/tag/v1.94.0 – reload the page, or restart the installed app.

@henmedia, thank you for the change. it works as expected.

Just a comment on this:
I got rid of the build volume warnings all together by switching the printer to -> no printer Free size, and then making the custom size to my plate size of 256 x 256 for the P2S.
I don't really need to know what printer I have on the work plane anyway.

[henmedia]

@grmonsey thanks, that is a good tip: with "no printer" the build volume warning is not shown at all, and the custom size still draws your plate on the workplane. @robstern so there are two ways now: the cross on the warning, body by body, or no printer for no warnings at all.

@grmonsey, really great suggestion. thank you!
