There are about 73 support settings. You must be in one of the basic views.
To the right of the Search Settings box is an icon with three lines. It is the Settings Visibility control. Click on it and set it to "All".
Some of the settings may still not be available. They might be for certain printers or materials whose definitions call for them to be visible, but most are there.
With a model loaded and selected - on the left side of the screen are a column of controls. The 6th one down is "Support Blockers". Select it and then click somewhere on your model and a 10mmm cube will be added. It can be scaled and moved. The button right above the support blocker button is "Per Model" settings. You can change the effect of the support blocker to change infill or other things at whatever location you want. Ya just gotta play around.
Here you can see seven of the eight support blockers I put in (they are the gray blocks). This particular model gets sliced twice. Once at .2 layer height and once at .1 layer height. The gcodes get combined so the base portion prints at .2 and the external threads on top print at .1.
