Want to simplify supports under prints with holes on bottom

· Want to simplify supports under prints with holes on bottom
Most of the time you need to clean tiny holes out anyway. So, consider filling each hole with a thin bottom layer of just one print-layer? Then the slicer only sees one rectangular plate from below. After printing, drill-out each hole manually with a suitable drill bit (which you probably have to do anyway, if they need to be accurate).
Or otherwise remove any downward structures, below the bottom plate, print them separately, and glue them on afterwards?
