Hi y'all,
Generally I am enjoying 5.0! I'm getting better print quality overall, and really enjoying some of the new features.

Oh but I am majorly bummed that scaling values are not kept -- after you scale a part, then click out of it, then go back to scaling, and it says 100% even though it isn't. Please fix that...

But that's not the point here...I have a model that has breakaway scaffolding on the outside of the model. I need the slicer to keep the perimeters of the main model and the scaffolding separate. In 4.1.2 this works great. However, in 5.0.1, some perimeters are merged between the scaffolding and the main model.

Is there a new checkbox I can uncheck?

TIA,
David

Can you post a screenshot comparing what you saw between V4 and V5? I'm having a hard time knowing what to suggest based on that description alone.

Here is how it is in v4, and how I want it to be:


Here is how it is in v5, with the area of concern circled in red:


Looks like those images aren't loading. Here are onedrive links to the screenshots:

Can you post the factory file? It's hard to tell what would be causing that. It might be model related.

so have seen this issue couple times. 5.0 tends to "heal things" it thinks are close enough.
if the support structure is a completely separate part have a process for each. This should solve the problem.
what is the gap between the support structure and the model? seems like anything less than 0.1mm will merge and heal.
another method I use is to make the support completely separate where the support will have little ticks which will overlap the outside of the model just a little. like the attached image. this is a method some of the large +100K$ machines will do for some tall narrow object to stabilize them so they do not fall over.
