Support structure splitting

The Split Supports split supports icon tool lets you create mesh bodies of support structures, enabling you to reposition and independently manufacture these supports from the main part.

Splitting is useful when dealing with setter supports that require different processing steps, like sintering. By splitting these supports into separate mesh bodies, they can then be manipulated and printed independently. In addition, they can be exported for further processing in other software applications.
