Colors indicate speeds.</center>]] '''Layer ViewLAYER VIEW''' is a pane which allows the user to preview a print's G-Code tool path as a visual representation. It has two modes: 2D and 3D. ''Note'': 3D mode is not available on the [[MatterControl Touch]].
It is accessed by clicking the [[File:Layer ViewLAYER VIEW.png]] icon in the pane on the right side of the MatterControl main screen[[Main Screen]].
The pane can be [[Pop out|popped out]] into its own window. [[File:Pop out.png|link=Pop out]]

==== Print Time ====
The volume of filament the finished print is estimated to be, in cubic centimeters.
==== Estimated Weight Mass ====
The estimated weight mass of the finished print, in grams. This is calculated as the [[SETTINGS/Filament/Material/Properties/Density|filament density]] in grams per cubic centimeter times [[LAYER_VIEW#Filament_Length|length of filament]], in centimeters, extruded. ==== Estimated Cost ==== The estimated cost of the print, based on the amount of material used, the [[SETTINGS/Filament/Material/Properties/Density|density]], and the [[SETTINGS/Filament/Material/Properties/Cost|price of the material]]. This information will not be visible if the material cost is set to 0.
