Seeking Updated S3D Setting Explanations

Hi.

I really like Simplify3D! Best $150 bucks I ever spent.

That said, it seems harder than it should be to find detailed, authoritative explanations for the process settings incorporated with the introduction of 4.0. Leapfrog's generous compilation of S3D Customer Support information from this forum is very helpful for most settings, but it hasn't been updated since September of 2015.

For example, S3D Tech Support once gave me some great suggestions for changing my Internal Thin Wall Type settings (Advanced Tab) to strengthen screw boss' for mounting circuit boards in a print. I've since tried to learn more about such relatively new setting options, but I haven't had much luck.

In my humble opinion, detailed explanations of all current setting options should be readily available by clicking "Support" in S3D's web site or "Help" within the application. Unless/until that happens, I'd appreciate suggestions how we can all easily access most-current S3D setting information - preferably in one place instead of mining for it in forums and YouTube videos.

Thanks! - guy

Re: Seeking Updated S3D Setting Explanations

I agree and have posted the same a few months ago.. One of our members created a PDF with a lot of info from all different locations.. It is actually really good, but also suffers from dated and lack of authoritative info as it is just gathered from what is publicly available. It should be added to the Support page as I have a hard time finding it..
