support structure offset from model

I am using a raise 3D N2 plus dual printer and i want to print with PETG and PVA. what i want is for most of the support to be PETG just like the model itself and just the dense support to be in PVA but when i try this, the PVA support is placed a little to the left of the model instead of where it is supposed to be. the PETG is in the left extruder and the PVA is in the right extruder so i think S3D is compensating for the offset but is overcompensating by a couple of centimetres.

another problem is that i cant import files from a network server. when i want to import something i simply cant find the server and must instead move the file to my desktop and import it from there.

Re: support structure offset from model

You can use the Tool Head Offsets in the G-Code tab in order to adjust how much of an offset is applied to the G-Code when changing tools on this machine.
