Addition to Gcode Blocker

It would be great if the area selection could be extended to allow irregular shapes.  If you have a packed buildplate you can only exclude rectangular areas, which limits the usefulness of the feature.  The ability to click corners of a polygon would allow the user to select a failed part without hitting another part nearby.  As it stands, you can only really use this feature if you have everything aligned in a grid.  The algorithm used by Cura now places objects much closer together and maybe it's time that the blocker kept pace with that.

You can use multiple blocks to get more complex shapes. But you need some space anyway since you do not know if it will grow or shrink further up.

There's always enough space around each part - if they get wider at the top, Cura shows a collision.
But even with a simple diagonal side, drawing lots of rectangles is at best a blunt solution compared to creating a simple outline.  I just feel it would be a more elegant solution that adds value to the product.

For future I want our own slicer which then marks object names so we can remove them by object. Same will then work for other slicers marking the object the gcode comes from.

That sounds like a great solution!
