[Bug] "Infill Overlap" increases support areas.

Open ThomasRahm opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Application Version 5.0.0

Actual Results When the support walls are calculated in AreaSupport::generateGradualSupport, the support areas will be offset by overlap in Infill::generateWallToolPaths. This causes the support area (not just the support infill area) to become larger. While this does not matter most of the time, when the overlap is large, or the support area is small that can cause issues. Examples:

High Overlap Bugged

Small area bugged

Expected results

When setting the infill overlap used to calculate the walls in AreaSupport::generateGradualSupport to 0, the overlap is still correctly added, but the support area does not increase. See #1671. This results in the previous examples to look like this instead:

High Overlap Fixed

The support infill will still overlap with the support walls: High Overlap Fixed lower

Small area fixed
