S3D Support Questions

Hey Gang!

I am wondering if support in S3D can be setup to have more dense support near an object?

I print some things that have a lot of detail and overhang... and I would like to get the best
shape, layer look I can on the overhangs.... but I don't want to print a ton of support material
do to cost/waste....

Is there a way to change its density toward the top of the support to get better support?

Or is there an economical way of getting good layer support on overhangs without wasting so
much material????

I usually use the default support settings... so this is all new to me...

Yup, it's called dense support. There's a video all about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koCVOsRA6Bc
