[FIXED] Double colour support BUG

Hello!

It seems to me that I found a bug in Simplify3D support generation routine.
If the parts with different colours are placed on top of each other, support structures will be generated by both extruders. In principle, it works, but leads to clogging of printheads, and such support structures are incredibly strong (cut muself multiple times :) ).

Here is an example:
scene.PNG
Note that the support structures under the lowes "cubes" are printed with both extruders:
support1.PNG


I understand that in this case I can do some multiprofile voodoo, but I won't, because it can't be done with complex geometries (such as molecular surfaces like in this example https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qq5Kw ... SeMXR3y1Qo )

Here is the profile file.

Re: [FIXED] Double colour support BUG

I’m happy to state that this issue should be resolved now in the latest 4.1.0 release. Our team successfully tested multiple factory files from threads mentioning this issue. The supports for dual prints like this will now not be printed twice as shown here . This was just one of many improvements to the software. All of which are detailed on our Release Notes page.

Thank you for your help reporting this issue!
