If I import a .nc file to check it, the origin offset is not shown correctly. The parts cut correctly and show correctly in preview and animation….Not a big problem but when order of operation is important and there is one .kmz file for multiple .nc files it would be nice to visually check rather than inspect the g-code.

This is expected behavior. When `z-anchor` is set to `top`, all the drills into the part will have a negative z.

Can you elaborate on what you would want changed with the behavior of importing gcode?

Sorry I was not specific enough the line of holes is offset to the left (x direction?)…apparently the origin offset in the x direction occurs after the display is shown…..when import of only ,nc file. ….display is correct in .kmz file.
