Not seeing optimal results from results of the Minimum Support Orientation block

Issue:

Applies to:

  • nTop 2.28
  • Additive Manufacturing

Cause:

We are evaluating potential fixes for this issue with a future release.

Solution:

Currently, the workaround is to manually orient the object and generate support structures.
