Hi all,
I’ve had this problem again where I assign height range modifiers, but the height ranges won’t let me change the filament from default to something else. I tried slicing first and then changing but it didn’t work. This STL is from Hueforge so it has the strange zero height outline. I tried slicing it off, but I still couldn’t change the color.
For that matter, there is no right click menu at all when right clicking on the layers.

IMHO, you should go to Preview to slice it. Then you will be able to change color. All you need to right click the vertical “layer” ruler on the right side of the slicer’s window and choose Change color. It’s the same like in Orca and Prusa slicers. I’m not sitting at my computer right now and I can’t recall the details.
Hello thanks. That is the method that I usually default to, but I am working on a complicated stack at the moment and it would be helpful to use the modifier method. I know that it works in some instances, I just don’t know why sometimes it doesn’t.
Geez. Now I have the opposite problem. I have a plate with several overlapping objects to make one large assembly. The objects were originally different colors, but now I would like to just assign the filament by layer height in the slicer. Now the software will only let me change the colors by object, and I cannot change colors in the slicer.
Frustrating!
This has been around a while and it doesn’t look like there is an answer. I too ran into this issue but I did find the solution. Just in case anyone else runs across this post like I did. I didn’t happen to see the solution out there in my searches before this one.
Solution:
Click once on the actual filament color, or where the color would be indicated for the range defined. Then click on that spot again the icon (for lack of a better term) will change slightly then when you click on it again it will turn into a drop down menu for you to select the filament color. This actually works for all objects and parts but it seems to be the only method for me to work for a height range modifier.
If there is an actual easier method please let me know, I would love to know.
Obviously for the OP they for a hugeforge they could have just sliced it and put in color changes at different heights for each of the colors and then sliced again. But they were asking about the height range modifier.
