Support pillars don't start from layer 1

Good evening, I have to print this model made by me in Fusion 360. As you can see the inner pillars supports don't start to be printed from layer 1.... the outer pillars, instead, starts from layer 1...it is not just a preview issue, I've checked the gcode with a viewer... what's wrong?

Any chance you can attach your factory file. Its difficult to be able to diagnose from just three screenshots...….

Now that's a new one !!!!!

Simple fix! ...or should that be fudge!

Change the support pillar resolution from 4.5mm to 4.0mm ...….and the support is generated correctly! In fact, anything other than 4.5 will do.....4.51 works!!

I try not to ask that sort of question. If fudging the values works......simply go with it! It saves on brain power! :? :? :? :? :? :?

I'm a professional programmer and, to be honest, I find very hard to accept this answer....In my job isn't acceptable that a software behaves "randomly" and I find it particullary hard to accept for a software I'va paid for...

Re: Support pillars don't start from layer 1

Well I'm sorry you find my advice hard to accept.

I assume you no longer wish me...a fellow user of the software and an ex professional software developer to boot.....not to offer you any more advice.
