[ADDED] Please Fix Raft Area - uses shadow of entire object!

[watsonstudios]

It would be great to only have the raft be created just around the first layer of the build, not the entire "shadow" of the object. This can create a raft that is unnecessarily large and cover holes that may be at the bottom of the object - or at least have both options - create full raft or just around outline of first layer. We should still be able to control the offset in either option. Thanks!!

unnecessary raft size - shadows entire object.

Came here to say this. (also the other thread with the circle, where the raft fills the entire shape viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5765&p=24942&hilit=raft#p24942

Same with brim for supports.

For me it is a year now, and i am still waiting for a feature that reduces print time and cost up to 30% (at least for my use cases)

What makes me a bit annoyed, is that it should be really easy to implement!

This feature has been implemented in Version 4.0, so when you create rafts with the new version, they are now only placed where absolutely needed. They will only be added where the model or support structures are touching the bed, so this can save a lot of time and material.

This change is automatic, so you should see it right away once you start using version 4.0.

Thank you for the suggestion!
