Prusaslicer 2.9 and helper disks
The problem I am having is the corners are lifting and my model is warping. I want to add helper disks to the corners, but all the tutorials are old and don't work when trying to follow them. I see that there is set as separated objects and under it printable in the drop down menu. Can someone please explain the proper sequence because I keep getting gcode errors.

Select the part you want to add the disks to, then rightclick on it > Add Part > Gallery > helper_disk.stl.
The disks behave and slice differently if you add them to your part or add them independently to your platter. See screenshot:
circle on the left was added to the platter, circle on the right was added to the part. See that the perimeter of the disk on the right is contiguous with the part, the perimeter on the left is intersecting with the perimeter of the part. That is the cause for the error about conflicting g-code paths.

Add your problematic part to the platter. Next right click on the part and select "Add Part", then select the gallery and the helper disc. Then place the disc under the problematic area. You must be in either normal or expert mode for the Add Part option to be visible in the right click menu.
The process hasn't changed in forever so I'm not sure what out of date tutorial you are using. Just tried it in 2.9 to make sure it was as usual.

OK thank you. Not adding it as a part was the problem.
