First picture is supports set at "Build Plate Only".
Second picture is supports "Normal"
Why to I get that mess of supports or actually lack of supports when I select "Normal"?
Support Issue. Possible Bug?
Adding supports to this part. Thought they were pretty simple but NO!

Re: Support Issue. Possible Bug?
Simple and rational explanation!
The stl has two meshes in it....and S3D....as you know.....finds difficulties dealing with multiple meshes in single stls.
Use the Separate Connected Surfaces option......and the support generates as you would expect it to.

Re: Support Issue. Possible Bug?
Well, glad to know it was straight forward.
Thing is, I run every STL through my Netfabb so I didn't think to check in S3D for multiple meshes!
Turns out I had the Auto Repair off from last importing a complex model that would crash Netfabb on Auto Repair so alas when I saved this model it was still 2 meshes!
Glad it wasn't actually a "bug" and was just me forgetting to double check my process.
Thanks for the assist!

Re: Support Issue. Possible Bug?
No probs. Its not your fault....its a lack of interest by the S3D developers to ensure the slicer can be used efficiently by the users.
