Support Not Generating Correctly?
I've got a print that has a long (200mm) horizontal surface that needs support. When I load into the PrusaSlicer (2.3.3), it's only generating support on the ends of the surface, not the center. Same problem if I use enforcer, paint-on support, or supports-everywhere. Changing the default support angle doesn't help. Haven't seen this before. Anyone have suggestions?

Normally we ask people for a zipped up saved project file from PS. Zipped or the forum doesn't accept the file type.
However I've seen this request/issue so many times now on the forum (probably more than a hundred). If the forum search wasnt so bad you could have found one of the many previous posts.
You will have a setting called Don't Support Bridges turned ON. Its on by default in the print profiles. This means that if its bridged (indicated by the light blue on the preview clearly visible in your pics then it doesnt need support. And quite often it doesn't. However if you really want supports under there then just deactivate the setting. Its located in Print Settings>Support Material>Options for Support Material>Dont Support Bridges. Its a Yellow coded setting so you must be in Advanced or Expert mode to see and alter it.
Alternatively use Prusa Slicers rather excellent and much underused search function to find the option for you.
