Hey all,
Is there a way to export a model back to STL but include the generated support structures?

The point would be to be able to use the STL in another app. Probably can't do it but was just wondering.

Yes, the point of this is to be able to take the STL file (with supports) into another application, for example another slicer. In my case, PRUSA i3 owners have a custom PRUSA version of slic3r with some custom features. I bought Simplify 3D assuming I could use it's awesome custom support features, then export to STL and slice/print using slic3r. Apparently that's not an option (like it is with Meshmixer, which also does great supports).
S3D staff: If you're listening, sadly this makes the software unusable for me, and I'll be requesting a refund. If you add this capability, I will happily re-purchase!
