Support Options: Click the Support Options button to display the Support Options dialog.
You can select Treelike or Linear supports. Treelike supports are built at angles, while Linear
supports are linear, vertical supports for the overhanging elements. When you click the OK button,
the software will generate the appropriate support structures. If the model already has supports,
the software will judge whether the existing supports need to be deleted or not on the basis of the
type of existing support, and display the corresponding prompt to let you make the choice.
Auto Supports: Click the Auto Supports button to allow the software to judge where supports are
needed and will generate corresponding treelike or linear supports. If the model
already has supports, the software will delete them and new supports will be
generated.
Add Supports: Click the Add button to manually generate supports. Move the cursor to the position
where a support is needed, left click to choose the starting point, then while holding
down the mouse button, drag the mouse to the termination point. The supports
preview will be displayed with the support highlighted. If the support surface doesn't
need support or the support column angle is too large, the support will not be
generated.
Clear Supports: Click the Clear Supports button to remove all existing supports. If you change
your mind, click the Undo option or press CTRL+Z.
Delete Supports: Click the Delete Supports button to remove individual supports. Click the cursor
on the support you want to remove to highlight support, then click the left mouse
button to delete the highlighted support.
