How do I set an auto pause during print to change filament

Hi I need to be able to slice a model in which the gcode pauses the printer at a specific layer height so that I can swap out filaments. If anyone can guide me that would be great. Thanks!

Use custom gcode and insert a pause at the correct layer_num ...

{if layer_num == XX}G4 Z{endif} ; At layer XX, pause

so at the xx parts would i replace that with the layer height? and if it is a single digit would i type 07 for instance?

In latest prusaslicer you can do it.

Search for the movie that explains the new slicer, it explanes the color change.

If you are going to change the filament or change color at a certain level, it is preferable to use the Color change function found in the latest version of PrusaSlicer.
