[[File:SPL7.png|right|framed|<center>The Software Print Leveling section as shown in the '''Options''' menu.</center>]]The Software Print Leveling feature of MatterControl compensates for an uneven bed. Measurement is taken of the bed as it is, then G-Code is adjusted as the print happens. The G-Code itself is not changed, but rather a filter is applied, making adjustments on-the-fly. For this reason, existing .gcode files can be printed using MatterControl with Software Print Leveling applied.
