Supports inside model? Thought it couldn't be done

I have a slab support enforcer. It is putting supports inside the model, for the height of the slab, but not for the entire slab, just the corners of the model.

It doesn't impact the fit/form/function of the model. Just a nuisance.

Why is this happening?

Please attach a ZIPPED .3mf file. (The forum won't attach a file if it is not ZIPPED.)

Thanks for the file. That is a very cool shape, BTW. 

Because of that slit on the bottom, that area would be considered 'outside' the model. You can see on the legend the orange for 'External Perimeter'.

why not the print supports all around that open area, to the height of the slab?

That I don't know, but I did notice that using snug supports reduces the size of those supports that are where you don't want them. Perhaps someone else on the forum will have a better answer.
