Inputs

Name	Type	Description
`Part`	Implicit Body	The part to generate bar supports for. Only external surfaces with clear line of sight to the build plate will be supported.
`Build plane`	plane	Build Plane from which the bar supports orginate.
`Point Spacing`	Scalar	Spacing of points where support bars will connect to part.
`Overhang angle`	Scalar	Angle with respect to the build plane. Surfaces at or below this angle necessitate support structures.
`Tip Offset`	Scalar	Offset between the part and the connection point
`Tip Thickness (Part)`	Scalar	Thickness of the tip connection at the part
`Tip Thickness (Bar)`	Scalar	Thickness of the tip connection to the part at the start of the support bars.
`Bar Thickness (Tip)`	Scalar	Thickness of the support bars at the point where the tip connection points are started.
`Bar Thickness (Base)`	Scalar	Thickness of the vertical support bars at the baseplate.
`Blend radius`	Scalar	Blend Radius of the bar supports to the build plate.
