Cura generates support in the wrong direction?

Good evening everyone!

 

I just received my new prusa i3 mega from Anycubic, and after some test prints and tuning settings, I wanted to print this statue:

As you can see, for whatever reason, Cura decided that I need support on top of the model, not below it, which appears a little weird to me.

I didn't change any settings before loading this model in, and I don't have a single clue what could be the reason for this.

 

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks a bunch and have a great evening!

    Your normals are not in the proper place. Basically, the model is inside out and and it is putting them in the right place based on the model. The red parts are the places that it says that the bottom is. This is the model, not cura or the machine it is readying models for.

     

    Place a link or upload the model and I will make it right for you.

        (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.
