3D Print Supports

This is a Supports Creation Tool specific to 3D Printing, wherin extended portions of a model need support elements to deliver a proper printing result

script: cmd("$Supports);

Lay on Ground

Lay object on ground. Object will be moved and rotated to get physically stable position on the ground

Snap to Ground

Snap object to ground (zero). Only vertical parallel motion will be used
