Separate Processes? Prusa Slicer....
Hi
I need to find info on explaining how (if possible) to define individual processes for induvial parts on the same build surface.
Sorry the wording of Processes is from my S3D experiences so I'm not sure what it would be referred to in PS.
In other words I have 2 blocks on the bed. I want one block to have different layer heights and infill (settings in general) than the other.
I see Modifiers but that seems to be for a specific part.
Is there some info out there to review? Is it possible in PS?
Thanks
Edit: I may have possibly found the answer?

RE: Separate Processes? Prusa Slicer....
Everything that I was able to do using "processes" in Simplify 3D is covered by modifiers and/or variable layer height in PrusaSlicer. You do apply modifiers per part (STL), but you can always arrange multiple parts on the bed and save that arrangement as a single STL. Each part (STL) can have different layer heights, including the range of automatic variable layer heights.
This screenshot hopefully shows a useful example of different variable layer heights applied to 2 separate STLs.

A bit more clarification:
If I have 2 separate parts (STLs) on the bed, I can manipulate each of them separately with modifiers. This picture shows 2 spheres each placed as a separate part with automatic variable layer height applied. I've sliced and selected Height view in preview:
Notice that each sphere has its own layer heights applied independent of the other.
In the next example, I exported the spheres as a single STL using File->Export->Export plate as STL. Here's the result sliced and viewed in preview Height mode:
Notice that the variable layers applied to the smaller sphere have also been applied to the larger sphere since it's the same part from the slicer's view.

@bobstro
Thanks for the Info. I will also make note of this.
The link I placed in my original post gave me info on items I am more so interested.
If I right click on a model (separate model) I found that I can add settings that allow
me to basically define separate processes.
