Auto Supports and Manual Supports now in Contour!

[mongerdesigns]

We are proud to announce Support Structure functionality in Contour is finally available.

To get the beta version of the software with the supports, please go to Edit/Preferences, check the box UPDATE TO BETA VERSIONS, then restart Contour. You should see an Update message under HELP.
Download, install and enjoy.

If the update doesn't show up right away, just give it some time.

It took us a long time to develop these support features and we hope that you like them. We will continue to improve them, and to add more and more wonderful features to Contour!

I can not wait to get the beta version with supports! It's going to save tons of time manually putting in supports, tons of time mulling over questionable support areas and second guessing support locations, save on time used making bad prints due to missed supported areas. Can not wait!

Even already restarted the computer, already restarted Contour 3 times, checking and unchecking... not showing update in Help

So the new version we're getting is 1.2? Noticed in your screen shot you're running 1.2.16 or 1.2.18

In 1.2 I'm not seeing that "Support" button on the side when I load up a model. Is there something I'm missing?
