PrusaSlicer "Split to parts" button greyed out
kind of a weird problem
sometimes the buttons for split to object and split to parts is greyed out
and other times when i import a identical file its there and active
anyone know what causes this
I am trying to print in multiple colors with the base being one color and the text on top being a second color
sometimes they work sometimes they dont
anyone have any idea's on whats causing this

RE: PrusaSlicer "Split to parts" button greyed out
Without having the 2 files (one that does have the option the other that does not) I would suggest its simply that the models might not consist of multiple parts.
For example in whatever design software used you created a nameplate as a box section and then a text section and place the text slightly into the box and then exported it as an stl file the model would be highly likely to consist of more than 1 part, the box and the text, or even possibly each letter as a different item depending on the design software.
If however I were to use a vertices displacement on the box to raise the surface of the box in the shape of the text and exported it then the stl would consist of 1 item. It wouldn't be possible to split to parts or objects as it is only a single object. They would look the same visually but wouldn't be constructed the same.
I sometimes use 3D-Tool free (from www.3d-tool.de) for a quick look at an stl file instead of loading it in blender. that will show how many parts a model actually has. Does some other handy things like allows you to see a cross section and measure parts of models too.
