Raft below organic supports

Love organic supports but when there's a lot, I always end up with one coming off the bed.

I'd like to put down a one or two layer raft to help with adhesion.    I cannot find a way to do this.   Ideally, this highlighted area in yellow would be rafted - i.e. a raft essentially covering the area inside the brim.

Anyway I can accomplish this?  I've fooled with the raft settings  to no avail and none of the organic support settings seem to control the base size.

No, rafts are just for parts.  You cant add a raft for supports.  Just increase the first layer expansion of the supports though if you want more support base area.  Its an option under supports, although its a Expert/red setting so make sure you are in Expert mode to see it.   By default its set to 3mm but you can change it to whatever you want.  Increase it large enough and the bases will merge.  Its not a setting for organic supports but for ALL support types.

This is the second thread about supports needing bigger bases is the past few days in this sub forum.

Thank you - annoyed I didn't find that myself.  I am using expert mode.  And I guess I didn't search hard enough!
