Do you mean using some other slicer, such as Cura? Kisslicer already had the 'Support Z-Roof' setting which does what you're wanting, I think?
If you want to do it in Cura, then you'll probably need to splice the gcode together, although Cura has an option to only generate support that touches the build platform, which may do what you need. Different slicers put comments in their gcode in different ways to help you navigate it. But pretty much all of them are going to start each layer with a G1 or G0 move command that includes the z-height of the layer above the platform, so just pay attention to those z coordinates to match up the layers straight between the two files.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
