Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My printer has the dimensions of the printing head distinguishable from the "square" or "circle".
During sequential printing, I can only configure the overall dimensions, in the shape of a cylinder. However, this does not reflect the real size of the print head and the beneficial space cannot be used. Because of this, much fewer products are placed on the print table.

Describe the solution you'd like
In the settings of the dimensions of the head, more accurate parameters are not enough. So that you can configure the dimensions of the geometric figure except the "cylinder".
Add setting:
Width (along the X axis)
Depth (along the axis y)

OR (more preferred setting option)
Add setting:
X min (for width along the axis x)
X max (for width along the axis x)
Y min (for depth along the axis Y)
Y max (for depth along the axis Y)

Describe how it would work
The tuning of the dimensions of the print head will be selected optionally by switching between the "circle" and "rectangle". And the height parameter is common for these two geometric shapes.

And this option will solve the problem of the asymmetric structure of the print head. The local coordinate reference point comes from the center of the nozzle.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A similar case of setting up rectangular dimensions of the print head is used in the Cura slice. Where the parameters of the width and depth are specifically set. There, the dimensions are set relative to the central point of the nozzle. The minimum border by X, the maximum border by X - express the width of the print head. The minimum in Y and maximum in Y - express the depth of the print head.

At the same time, the action is immediately visible by the shadow where the dimensions of the printing head will pass. To arrange the details without crossing the traffic path.

Additional context
Thanks in advance!
