Slic3r PE 1.41.3 Support Blocker problem

I'm new using Slic3r PE 1.41.3 so I haven't test all the commands properly.

The problem is with the Support Blocker generator. When I set the part to print and click the checkbox "Auto generate supports" and the program generates "everywhere", I need to create support blockers but the program didn't recognized it after click "Slice now". See the picture below for reference.

Is the Lambda box set as a Support Blocker?

Also - it seems to me from an experience a while back the block must encompass the entire area of the part you want to block; if a spot on the part is a valid support zone, and not enveloped in the block, it will get support, even though a block zone is under it. The same is true if the block isn't touching the bed surface. The block is a "don't support anything within this block", not a "keep out" zone like most CAD uses.

ps: done with 1.41.2x64

I tried with version 1.41.3 and 1.41.1 with same result...I can't figure out what may cause the problem

per the previous post, you need to make the box taller than your part.

+1. The support blocker prevents any model geometry in the blocker from being supported, but if you have geometry above it or supports generating form other geometry that would go through it, they are unaffected. If you want to prevent anything above the area from being supported, you should extend the blocker to the top of the model.
