Empty layers because of Cutting Mesh.
Cura Version
5.11.0 and previous
Operating System
WInd 10 Pro
Printer
Creality Ender 3 Pro
Reproduction steps
Loaded a model
Brought in a support blocker and configured it as a Cutting Mesh
Placed the blocker so it limited the height of the model. The print here will be 45 layers tall.
Actual results
The slider will go to 225 layers.
After saving the gcode... The portion of the model covered by the Cutting Mesh still shows up in the gcode. Those are empty layers that start with a G0 move either to X0 Y0 or Xmax Ymax., and then Z moves only in every layer after that.
