Greg,
Appreciate getting back with me. I used to be pretty proficient with Catia back in the day, this is like the first difficult body I am creating in shaper 3D. On top of that this is my first 3D printer. Theoretically everything should be flat down there but I think it has something to do with poor Construction technique. This is all good information.
thank you
Dennis

The bottom of the model either isn't flat (likely give what I see there) or the model isn't lying flat on the Cura build surface. See if using the "Lay Flat" command under the Rotation Tool helps settle this down. An alternative would be to drop the model into the build plate by 0.1 or something.
You can see in the black oblong that there is a definite edge going across the print. It appears that the only things toucing the build plate are the area above my black oblong, and the little area that the black arrow is pointing to.
The corner that the red arrow is pointing to is so high off the build plate that it requires support.
If it isn't truly flat then you might have to make it so in an app that can alter a model file.
Depending on how far off the model is - sometimes things like this can be fixed by increasing the Initial Layer Height.
