How to switch between multiple bed in Prusa slicer

If I add too many items to a print it automatically swicth over to a second bed. Great feature! However, I have no idea how to switch between beds! I resorted to delete items until a second bed was not needed but then I was stuck with the screen below and nothing I tried would give me the view of the first bed. I had to close the slicer and start agai, carefully adding items making sure a second bed was not needed. Should there not just be a "bed indicator" which you click on to quickly switch between beds? I cannot find it.

 

Yes, this should probably go in the Slicer forum section but this is the only place I am allowed to post for some reason.

RE:

- bottom left - different views between the 3D editor models and Preview (sliced view)
- in  3d editor view
  just selecting an item in given bed should focus on that bed.
  left mouse click on selected model - you can drag it freely over the view area, and if you move it far enough away from the current bed then a new bed will show up
  right mouse click and hold = drag the view area
- in Preview - when selected then there will be extra icons in the top right, which allows switching between beds in sliced view
  if items are not selected as Printable (in the list on the right the middle column with the little eye) then some beds may not show up

Yeah, sometimes auto arrange generates extra beds which you may not need, in that case manual item positioning  (move/rotate) is required.

See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

RE:

Zoom out.  Drag objects from bed to bed.  Click on any bed, then press B to zoom to it.
