Tabs are not filled when using 1 layer.
Hey, I was reviewing your plugin and noticed that when loading this project and slicing the tabs are not filled. I opened this model in 5.2 and then used auto tabs.
After I change the layer count they are.
TABTEST.3mf.zip
Unfortunatly I cannot do anything on a Plugin point of View. The possibility of this Plugin Is just create the Geometry of the tabs . To get the right result you need to use the right parameter in Cura and this parameter are not plugin dependant. As you can see the same part just by using an other Printer are correct .
So it's really an issue with your parameter and this machine.
Unfortunatly these parameters cannot be set individualy on the support so you have to define them in the global profile.
Update the Wiki pages :

I may be mistaken, but I believe the issue is that your plugin is putting the tabs on the support layer, when they should be in the adhesion layer. As supports, they are filled in with whatever your support infill is set to, which if you are using supports, you probably don't want to have set to 100%. If you made the tabs adhesions, which is what they actually are, then Cura would fill them in 100%, without having to mess with your supports.
??? Yes the tabs are defined as Custom Support. And Basically they are more Custom Adhesion element. But in Cura we don't have the possibility to define a Custom Adhesion Element ( Or I miss Something ) If You want to use some anti-warping tabs which are not Support , you can also use the other plugin call SpoonAntiWarping But in this case you cannot define the X/Y distance between the tabs and the part. Unfortunately, no solution is completely satisfactory.
Thank you all! Checking 'Enable Support Brim' helped in my case. But as @jcmk suggests...

...defining the tabs as 'adhesion' seems to be the right way. I have no idea if this is possible. However, thank you @5axes for developing this plugin. Can't wait to try it out.
Normally Using Enable Support Brim Should Solved your Issue
THAT solved it! Thanks. Have been using this a lot before, but cant recal having to activate brim to use it previously. Kinda why i use these tabs, to not have to use a brim :)
