2 Overlapping Processes 2nd Process Not Displayed

[furicks]

When using 2 overlapping processes the 2nd process appears not to be rendered in the preview. This is either caused by the process not being generated in g-code or the process being ignored entirely.

This has happened regardless of my setup.

To recreate I simply create a process for the main model. Then I create a 2nd process for the dense support material. Since the 2nd process overlaps the first the dense support material is never rendered on the preview.

2 Process
Continuous Printing
Overlap Input Box -> Yes
Coloring Current Process
Only 1 Process Displayed except for in a few random extrusion and travel moves.

EDIT:
Adding in a factory file which displays the problem.

I have to admit I'm bemused as to why you're trying to overlap two processes.....which I'm sure doesn't work properly at all.

If you're wanting to print dense supports in a different material to the rest of the model and the ordinary supports, I'm led to believe that its very simple to do....just use one process and set dense supports to print with the second extruder. I've never done this myself....as all my printers are single extruder.

Unless I've got the wrong end of the stick completely...and you're trying to do something with one of the modern multi-material extruders. As I've said, I'm a single extruder extruder!!

It's because the software will not allow you to set the support percentage to 0%. I am creating a process so I can customize the dense support material print speed and other settings. Because I have to set the normal support percentage to 1% the software thinks it is overlapping even though it's not a problem.

Ok I've confirmed that it is a bug in the software.

Process 1 can be seen here

Process 2

And the combined process where both should be generated.

Most recent functional version was 4.0.0

Has anyone from Simplify taken notice of this bug? I'm stuck using an old version of the software but I would like to switch back to the current version if it's been resolved.

Thank you for the update!
