Not sure if this is in the pipeline to be added in the future, but If the manual support feature had a button to quad mirror the supports that would be awesome. Set one support, click button, boom supports on all 4 sides

Hey that looks fantastic!
I can’t wait to try it out! The reverse slice direction view is a work of genius, and the history function looks great too.
Nice work.

Thank you for a very nice addition. Fewer and lighter supports were used on my last model and it turned out fine. I look forward to future developments.

Just updated Contour and I am pleased to see the supports added in. A couple of suggestions to implement that would surely make my life easier is having more than just two types of support. The B9C has something called spike support and that I absolutely can't make due without. Penetration percentage as well is something important.

Another cool software feature I stumbled on was from Uniz, they allow you to have multiple layer thickness ranges across a single part

Thanks for the continuing improvement guys,
All the best

For some reason I'm not getting the message in the Help button. I checked the "update to beta version", please help.

Did you restart contour ? Or give it some time to load up like 15min
