If you would like color to be placed between a lower and a higher Aerea, say exactly 10 millimeters from here to there - you wonder there is no numeric or metric input possible. I mean “exactly”.
Is there a plan by Bambu Lab, to give Studio this missing Feature? Thanks for response.
By the way: I love my Studio, but…(see above).

If you make the text in Bambu Studio or import it as a file, you can move it up and down using the “Move” option and overtyping the field for the correct axis. That said, this interface can be improved a bunch with the option to lay flat on a surface. The bad news… sometimes its precise and other times its not. It sometimes introduces a weird offset which I haven’t figured out why yet.
There are several ways to do this already.
Thanks a lot for the response.
I have no problem with input of “Text” (as printable “text”) or with filament changings. But I found no way, no input line, to choose a height of color by an exact metric insert e.g. 15 mm from one line to another one.
A screenshot would possibly help.
I will try the hints you gave me. Especially the preview methode.
See the picture attached: I want the black part in exactly 15 mm from bottom up to be filled with black color.
Thanks

The height range method as explained above will do what you want but I was only able to get one range or color.
I use the Height range icon in the color painting tool.
Open the color painting tool.
Select the Height range icon.
Type the desired height from zero, in the attached image, I used 20 mm. Note that because I interacted with the mouse when taking the screen shot, it returned to 8 mm from the 20 I’d entered. DO NOT click on anything else in the color painting dialog nor in the main window. In fact, DO NOT click anywhere just yet. DO NOT press enter. DO NOT pass go. Bambu has thoughtfully made it so that it will return the default of 8 mm if you interact with the dialog or click on screen. It’s really not helpful.
Now point the mouse near the bottom of the item, with the tip of the arrow below the object. As you move up, you will see a line appear at the height you typed in. If you move up just a bit more, you will see two lines, one near the tip of the pointer and one above it at the height you typed in. You want to have the mouse low enough to get only the upper line. Now you can click and it will paint from the upper line to the bottom of the object.
Want that line to be on a diagonal? Rotate the part to the angle you want then follow the above instructions. The second image was painted by tilting it back 45°, painting it to a height of 20 mm then accidentally clicking on it again with the height at 8 since that’s the default. I then rotated it back to 90° and held the shift key and left mouse button down to try to erase just the upper color. I stopped before the erase tool hit the lower color and left him with a beard. Completely unintentional.
If you don’t know the height you want but instead want to color to a feature, you can do it in a couple of steps. First pick a height that will be less than 8 mm from the feature and color from the base up. Then leave it at the default 8 mm and color from the previous color to the feature. You can zoom and rotate while in color painting mode but remember doing so will return it to the default 8 mm.
After slicing, dragging the slider on the right will show layer number and height above the plate.
Here, layer 32 is 6.40 mm high.
Slice your model, drag the slider to 15mm and make your color change at that layer.
