The only other option in this section is the support pillar resolution, which determines the size of each individual support pillar. The actual print will still use the same back-and-forth webbing pattern that you saw earlier in the G-Code preview. Note that the pillar shape is simply a preview. This preview shows a series of vertical pillars that represent where support structures would be needed. This will produce a preview of the recommended support structures based on the overhang angle that you specify. Once you select an option, press the Generate Automatic Supports button. You can also change the Support Type from Normal to From Build Platform Only, which will only generate supports that are touching the build plate, which can be useful if the supports generated will be trapped within the part or otherwise difficult to remove. This can save a lot of time by giving you a starting point for any later modifications. The top section contains all of the automatic support generation options that allow the software to give you a recommendation about where it thinks support material is needed.
The support generation toolbar consists of several sections.
