Cura: Suggestion: Layers view in mm

[Thisismydigitalself]

Please add to layer number marker the total height in mm as well.

+1

not total height, but height at that layer or best: "current height"/"total height"

Yes, that was my intention, sorry. "current/marker height" thank you.

[Ghostkeeper]

Our project manager removed this from our planning because it was not seen as important enough.

The difference between excellent and just good enough is in the details :)

[ianpaschal]

The difference between excellent and feature creep is also in the details :)

[darkdvd]

Not important but make a huge difference !

Actual view :

View in mm :

View in Layer & mm :

So please add the possibility to show the height in mm.

I want this feature too

[Guyohms]

I'm using adaptive layers feature and for tuning the adaptive layers parameters, this feature would help so much.

I guess it's simple to implement, because since Cura knows the thickness of each layers under the current one, it should be just a summation.

A parameter in Cura's setting to choose between the 3 modes as shown by darkdvd would be excellent !

++++++++1 please add the possibility to show the height in mm in preview mode!

I don't even think this needs to be a configurable option. Just always show both the layer number and the Z value it's printed at.

Some people (like myself) feel comfortable poking through the G code file to check things out, even insert commands here and there. Cura writes comments like ;Layer:0 to the G code, but these numbers correspond to the raw layer of the model, and the Preview pane has its own numbering scheme. It starts at 1, and if you use a raft, the raft's layers get counted first, etc. Currently, it's really difficult to figure out which layer in the G code corresponds to what is being shown in the preview. Please, please just make it say what the Z value is, so I can go to the G code and search for Z1.23 or what have you.

@Ghostkeeper Can you take this back to the project manager and ask them to reconsider? As far as I can see it's a tiny feature with no logic required, and it would make many people's lives so much easier.

Hi @logiclrd. This is already in our backlog, but there are other priorities at the moment. Devs, see CURA-6535.

[logiclrd]

Cool beans, thanks for the update :-)

3 years since i started this thread.
I guess it's better late than never.
Looking forward.
