                  Whenever you have one or more objects selected, the Object manipulation panel appears in the right panel. 

                  Using the text inputs, you can modify:

                  • Position
                  • Rotation
                  • Scale factor
                  • Size

                  Three quick mirror buttons, one per axis, are available. The rotation can be restored to the original, and the scale can be set back to 100% in one click, using the respective orange reset arrow button.

                  When you are transforming a modifier or a part of a model consisting of multiple parts, a handy place on the print bed button appears whenever the selected object is above or below the print bed.

                  Object coordinates vs World coordinates

                  In the Advanced and Expert mode, a switch between Object coordinates and World coordinates becomes available.

                  The object coordinate system is constant in relation to the object. The world coordinates are constant in relation to the print bed. That means an object’s size will change in the world coordinates as you rotate it, for example, around the Z-axis. The size in local coordinates is constant no matter the rotation around any of the axes.

                  Local coordinates (left) vs World coordinates (right)

                  Is there any way to switch focus between the plater window and the object manipuation panel using the keyboard? For example: when the plater is focused, the cursor keys translate the selected objects; when the object manipulation panel is focused, the cursor keys navigate the object hierarchy. I can't find any way to switch between these two modes without using the mouse.

                  There does seem to be an accidental workaround to get from the object selection panel to the plater by pressing Ctrl-5, Ctrl-6, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get back.

                  I'm not aware of any shortcut to get to the Object List. As far as I know, the Ctrl+5 and Ctrl+6 shortcuts are for switching between the 3D View and the G-Code Preview. If you need to crosscheck shortcuts go to Help/Keyboard Shortcut

                  Tenho utilizado o PrusaSlicer há cerca de uma semana e estou impressionado com a qualidade do G-code gerado. Mesmo utilizando a mesma impressora e as mesmas configurações de calibração, percebi uma melhoria significativa na qualidade das peças impressas, especialmente quando comparado com fatiadores mais simples e intuitivos.


                  I've been using PrusaSlicer for about a week now, and I'm genuinely impressed with the quality of the G-code it generates. Using the same printer and calibration settings, the printed parts have shown a noticeable improvement in quality, especially when compared to more user-friendly slicer

                  I am using a Mk4S with the MMU3. I am currently not using the MMU (it is attached). Is there a way I can tell the slicer to ignore the MMU? I do not want to use the wipe tower, or deal with other MMU settings.
                   
                  Even though the the MMU is turned off (in the UI) the PrusaSlicer shows multiple nozzles. Is there something I can do to have the printer 'forget' about the MMU? It is easy to completely remove the MMU and replace it when I have time to finish the build?

                  Hello. You can just use a profile for MK4S without the MMU.

                  Is it possible to mirror/scale _some_ of the instances of an object?

                  All of the instances will scale/mirror. If you want to apply the changes just to some of them, first, set one instances as a seperate object, than mirror/scale it. You can than make more instances of this new object.

                  Hi, how can I center objects relative to others? E.g. center a text on the object it has been added to/subtracted from. I know this could be difficult on complex forms (and then it's not as necessary), but on geometric forms like a cube or cylinder, deviations are disturbingly visible, so exact centering is needed... Thanks.

                  There isn't currently a way to automatically center parts relative to other objects, but it's a good idea for a future improvement of the feature. :)
