How to move printing area after import G-code

Hi, friends,
I want to import G-code into kuka|PRC. However, when I import the code, the object to be printed is not in an ideal place. Usually, I need to drag the number slider bar to adjust it to a proper manufacturing position. However, I don't know how to do it when importing G-code.
I slice the model, a simple 200*200*20 cuboid in cura, which will meet the requirement of the robot to reach every point under proper position. However I cannot do that in cura, because if the object is out of making space, cura will not slice it to generate G-code. So I cannot drag the object in cura freely.
The reason I use cura is that I need infill printing not just the contour.
Hoping you can offer me some help on
1. how to adjust model positions in kuka|prc. Or
2. methods for infill 3D printing in kuka|prc.
Hoping to hear from you!
Best regards,
Ziqiu

Dear Ziqiu,

You have got two options, you either change the base or your use the "Transform Commands" node in the "05 | Utilities" tab of KUKA|prc. You get the required geometry transformation input from any transformation component, e.g. the "Transform" output of a "Move" component.

All the best,
Johannes
