Tips: Change object’s size will break generated supports.
Note that Change size by modify scale value do not support multi-select.
2.7 Generate Supports
Most models need additional support structures to print successfully,
especially those with overhangs. Press the Supports Button on the main
tools to open the Supports sub menu.
Once the Supports tab is open, supports can be added to the active
object by pressing the Generate button. Support parameters can be
adjusted using Density, Support Radius, Head Length, and Point Size
sliders.
Spacing defines the closest distance between two adjacent supports.
Support Radius defines the radius of the support pillar.
Head Length defines the length between the straight support pillar and
angled pillar to the object (point)
Point Size defines the diameter of the touching point on the object.
Internal Supports, checking this box will generate supports inside the
model to shore up overhangs. Without internal supports, the overhangs
may fail during print.
