How do I enable tree supports in Cura 4.9.1

[undoolya 0]

I have not been able to find how to get tree supports.  How do I enable it so I can select it for my prints?

 

I don't think it makes a difference but I am using Cura 4.9.1 with a Monoprice Make Select Pro Ultimate printer.

Look for the setting named "Support Structure", and change its value from "Normal" to "Tree".

In my copy of Cura, the only selection possible for Support Structure is Normal.  Do I have to download something?

It is theoretically possible for a printer definition to remove the option to select "Tree" from that list. Since Ultimaker Cura does not come with a definition of the "Monoprice Make Select Pro Ultimate" printer, I wonder what printer definition you use.

I use the Monoprice Ultimate printer definition.  I believe it came with one of the previous versions of Cura I downloaded.  I don't see anything in it that would remove the "Tree" option.

I use a Creality 3D Printer. I have the same problem. I can only find " Support normal" . There is no tree support listed

It is there. You will find it under support structure.

I found this option after previously not being able to see it. Next to the "Search Settings" there is a three-bar menu. Select "Advanced." Now you can configure support infill and enable tree support.
