How do we save custom support settings?

How do we create/save custom overhang settings.

Is there a Xml or INI that we can modify to add a new entry to the dropdown menu like the existing ones?

There should be a "SaveCurrent" in the Preset dropdown. Can't see it in your Screenshot. Do you use the latest version of MM?

This saves a .xml to ...Documents/meshmixer/printers/supportPresets (assuming a default install)

You can edit or add such a .xml manually too. MM needs to be rebooted to show changes in that directory.

Here's the content of such a preset .xml (values not meaningful - just to show if integer or float):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SupportStructurePresets>

<Preset>
 <Name>SomePresetName</Name>
 <PolicyType>0</PolicyType>
 <OverhangAngle>0.1</OverhangAngle>
 <ContactTolerance>0.1</ContactTolerance>
 <VerticalOffset>0.1</VerticalOffset>
 <LayerHeight>0.1</LayerHeight>
 <SupportMaxAngle>10</SupportMaxAngle>
 <SupportDensity>0.01</SupportDensity>
 <PostDiameter>0.1</PostDiameter>
 <TipDiameter>0.1</TipDiameter>
 <BaseDiameter>0.1</BaseDiameter>
 <AllowTopConnections>0</AllowTopConnections>
 <OptimizationRounds>1</OptimizationRounds>
 <SolidMinOffset>0.1</SolidMinOffset>
 <TipHeight>0.1</TipHeight>
 <BaseHeight>0.1</BaseHeight>
 <StrutDensity>0.01</StrutDensity>
 <PostSides>1</PostSides>
</Preset>

</SupportStructurePresets>
