brim feature not split between processes

Often when printing multiple objects I want some to have a brim because they need some extra bed adhesion, yet other parts in the same print don't require a brim--including one would just add to cleanup.

S3D "should" be able to do this via it's multiple process feature, but it doesn't--the brim settings on the first process are always used by all parts regardless of what their brim is set to.

Expected: each part uses the brim setting from it's own process.

I just did a quick test and had no problems printing 2 objects with 2 processes - one with a brim and one without. It seems to work fine for every test I do.

Do you have a factory file for your specific issue? Maybe it's just an easy setup option you need to adjust

The top part is sliced correctly with a 3 layer, 44 outline brim. The bottom part is supposed to have a 1 layer, 2 outline skirt, 4mm out. Does the .factory file include the processing settings, etc?
Thanks and Happy Holidays,

Just separate the models bit more. If they are too close, the skirt for each one will get combined (and thus use the same settings). I just moved then an extra 10mm apart and then it worked.
