I think a button that maximizes the object to the maximum build envelope would be useful. Right now, you have to “eye” it … and furthermore, it is hard to see if a print is out of the build envelope until you try to print it … there’s no visual indicator … that’s another feature that could get added. Color coded or model rendering distinction of pieces of a part that jut from the max build volume of the Form.
