Need better tooling to resolve "floating islands"

I wrote about some of the challenges I have with the slicer and fine-tuning supports in Preform:

Since then, the situation has gotten even worse as switching from "Normal" to" Support Editing" mode in recent versions of Preform causes the model to jump upward along the Z axis (simply put, you lose your place).

Does anyone else find Preform makes it unreasonably difficult to place supports where they need to be to fix your "floating islands"? Autogen does a decent job but does not catch all of them. I can provide sample STL's.

There is a slicer in the support editing mode but it seems to work in the opposite direction from what I need (and I'm guessing it's intended for work on internal cavities, not what I'm doing). If there were simply an option to invert the support editing slicer direction I think that would solve my issue.

Let me know if this is unclear; I can explain/elaborate.
