I'm trying to understand the "Generate Interlocking Structure" and associated settings but I can't seem to get the results I'd expect.  In my efforts to understand things, I downloaded the Crocodile Clip .3mf file and tried to duplicate the results. As you can see, my results are very different  from the feature introduction article https://ultimaker.com/learn/unlock-true-multi-material-printing-with-ultimaker-cura-5-3/.  This would obviously not function as desired.

 

I'm running Version 5.5 on a Mac if that makes any difference.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    How have you set up Cura so that it knows you have different materials in each extruder?

    Slashee, CUQ

    Thanks for your responses.  I figured it out.  If you have your "Color Scheme" in Preview set to "Line Type",  it does not separate colors by material. If you change it to "Material Color",  then it shows what I was expecting to see.  So it was working all along, I just needed a different point of view.  🙂

     

    Again, Thanks!
