I tried the above. I told it to put the zipper in the middle of the surface of the 20mm cal cube wall and S3D ignored what i entered. Instead it started the layer in a corner. Seems to me "Choose Start point closest location" does not work as one may assume. Anyone know EXACTLY how it works and what it does?
