Changing filament assignments for a Multimaterial painting

Suppose I have a 3mf file in which a model has already been "painted" with the multimaterial painting option.

I have similar colors loaded up to the MMU3, but they are in a different order than in the original painting.

Can I change the extruder order for the painting in software, without redoing the painting? Or do I need to physically change the filament setup at the

MMU3?

 

Thanks!

Wes

I am hunting for the answer to the same question. Guess you have not received one yet.

I believe with painting, you need to move the filaments to match the paint scheme

Any update on this.   It seems the multi painting tool should have a swap spool option where I can say select spool 1 and say "swap to spool x" and it would make global update so you don't need to go repaint every block. or swap spools around, as both are time consuming for some models.

Looking for an update to this info as well. Not being able to switch which extruder is assigned to the Multilateral Paint is not acceptable. I have an XL and one of the extruders is down, waiting for replacement parts from Prusa. This feature should have been an expected one when it was implemented.
