Simplify3D was the industry standard for printing RC airplanes until Cura and PrusaSlicer fixed the issues they had where only the outer shell would print. Now with Simplify3d V5 it is doing the same thing that Cura and PrusaSlicer used to do. When I slice my parts only the outer skin shows in the preview. Is there some way to fix this?

Re: V5 no longer able to slice thin wall RC airplanes
Also, the height modifier for each process under the Advanced tab is gone. Why use different processes if you can't define the height they take place at. If these aren't fixed I'll be asking for a refund.

The setting you are referring to is now available as Custom zones, at the bottom of Process Settings window.

Are you able to post the STL file that is causing the problem? It would also help to see a picture of what you want the print to look like.
There's quite a few new repair options in V5, and it looks like the model may be slightly different than the typical 3D solid. I bet you just have to adjust those repair settings to use the geometry as-is instead of filling it in.
