Print Bed

Print Bed describes the print bed once: how large the plate is, where the plate is in the Rhino document, and where a part is placed by default. The bed output is connected to Place, Robot Simulation, and Live View, so that all of them use the same bed.

Panel: 2 Place. Nickname: Bed. Compute button: no (runs on every change).
