Help to find the way the nozle moves up while printing

Triceratops file on SD comes with the printer, I saw this model sliced up the nozle on the same layer many times to avoid the supports and it is awesome.

I have S3D and want to know how this made.

Thank you in advance

It's called Z-hop. I'm not sure simplify3d will do it though. The prusa supplied profiles in slic3r do it though.

From S3D's webpage.

To enable this open, click “Edit Process Settings” and select the Extruder tab. Make sure that retraction is enabled, and then set the “Retraction Vertical Lift” to the distance that you would like the nozzle to raise. For example, if you enter 0.5mm, the nozzle will always raise up 0.5mm before moving to a new location. Please note that this vertical lift will only occur when the nozzle is performing a retraction. If you want to ensure that a retraction is taking place for every single move that the printer does, click on the Advanced tab and make sure that “Only retract when crossing open spaces” and “Minimum travel for retraction” are disabled.
