Bug Report: Bit selection process is limited and inconsistent

I’m working on a big, rough prototype project and I’d like to reconfigure some bit and cut settings to optimize around speed.

For instance, I’d like to use a large flattening bit for a portion of the cut, and a quarter inch compression bit for the finishing pass.

In regular easel mode, I can’t select the quarter inch bit as a finishing bit. In the 3D mode, I can’t even add new finishing bits beyond the default 8th inch bit.

I would expect the software to be a little more flexible in allowing me to pick my bits, or even allow me to add a new bit in 3D mode.

I gave up My 1/4" bits are all upcut, even when I load a downcut or round nose. same with my rabbiting and bowl bits, I just use the diameter and use the bit I want.
