Contour Files Not Saving Exact Scene

Recently when I add manual supports and save the scene in Contour, the support structures aren't saved as I arranged them. Instead, when I open the .solus file, the program loads supports as though I saved it using automatic supports. Not sure why this happens. Is this a bug in the program or something I'm missing? Thanks!!

The scene only saves the points and the tip size. It regenerates the supports bases on that data. Future updates will save more data.

Got it. Thanks! Look forward to the addition of more saved data.

I never noticed this.. I tend to do the supports on my CAD PC, save the scene and sync it (Resilio Sync) to the laptop to start printing... might explain some of my fails as I always end up modifying/adding to the automatic generated supports. Thanks for the tip!
