Oh dear.

[Vandrasc]

Ehm, @ianpaschal see CURA-5019, according to the comment this behavior is acceptable.

[smartavionics]

LOL, really? How can an image that shows the model encased in concrete be acceptable?

[smartavionics]

BTW, I notice that infill modifier meshes are also rendered in the image which, again, isn't that useful.

[fieldOfView]

The fix is very trivial in PreviewPass.py; non-printing meshes are already filtered, they should just not be rendered, or rendered transparently.

@Vandrasc I actually don't see any comments there which say it's acceptable. I see that it's "Fixed" which is apparently is not.

[Vandrasc]

Well, it was decided not to be fixed (see @Ellecross last comment from that issue), but guess what? Good news, we have a new ticket where we will address this issue.

CURA-5373

This is fixed so should be immediately visible in master and coming soon to 3.4 beta.
