Tree Support and Support Blocker issues

I’ve run into some problems using supports.

  1. When I use manual supports and insert support blockers, they do nothing. It’s like the support blocker command is ignored.

  2. At times using strong tree supports causes really thing tree support branches that will cause defects on prints or fails.

I will attach screenshots of both examples:

Using Strong Tree supports, but with a larger XY gap so support does not string onto the object (TPU):

Here there is part of a branch printing in mid-air!:

Inserted a support blocker primitive to try and avoid using the extra tree support outside the object:

Regarding the “support blocker” you need to paint the area you don’t want support to generate in not use a blocker.

Talking of supports some appear to be creating infil if edited in a way as to reposition the object (painted) enforcer ?

Nice. I can’t believe I never saw that thanks. I am still curious why the support blocker primitive doesnt work though. Maybe they should get rid of it.
