Question about "Start From" option

I have a question concerning Lightburn’s Origin in the Start From option. I am cutting a 6 sided box and all sides are visible on the work grid in Lightburn. I have selected “upper left” in the Origin option in the Start From box. The green box indicating where the cut will start is located at the upper left of the top most side… as it should be. However I decided not to cut one of the sides and I moved it off the work grid to the left side and assigned it to a different color layer. The green box indicating where the cut will start moved with the side I moved off the work grid. In the layers menu I deselected that side not to cut and the green box remained on the left side of the side that is off grid. I deselected “show” in the layers menu and the green box remained to the left side of the side that is off grid.

I want to cut all the sides of the box except the side that is off grid using the Origin option but when I use Frame, the laser heads tries to go to the green box which is to the upper left of the side that is off the grid and of course this won’t work. So my work around is to save my work, close lightburn open light burn, delete the side that is off grid and cut. There has to be a better option.

Enable cut selected shapes AND Use selection origin in the laser panel.
