Hey SimScale,

I love this tool and use it a lot for design iterations but the post-processing isn’t as controlled as I’d like it to be to create standardized reports of outputs. Below is a list of features that would be great to see rolled in.

- Ability to give cutting planes and post-processing features names for easy reference & toggling
- Scale bar in post processing/zoom control
  - I take a lot of screenshots to make reports and evaluate differences. It would be really useful to be able to control the scale/zoom so I can have 1:1 comparisons of different cross sections etc.

- Particle trace centroid defined by coordinate position instead of surface selection
- Circular pattern particle trace
- Pre-set cross section pngs in Result Control
  - option to request .png’s at pre-set sections. e.g. x=3mm, z=0mm etc. This removes the manual requirement of post-processing to access and export specific areas of interest for every run

Hi @edaigle

Thank you for the suggestion!

Would it be possible for you to post that on our [Public Roadmap Page](https://roadmap.simscale.com/tabs/4-recently-released)? This allows the SimScale Team to evaluate its relevance and place it on our product roadmap.

Thank you!  
Bryan
