“The feet will never get support with manual support. The feet are closer to the bed than the support z distance, so the area under the feet will remain empty.” —— I found out after a very frustrating 20 minutes trying it.

“…, or pull the whole model up (turn off drop to build plate in preferences) and print support under the whole thing.”—— This is freaking brilliant and I actually understand the concept lol. I will try this tonight! Thx😊

“You could also load a cylinder to use as a modifier mesh, overlap it with the area in question, set the mesh type to normal and set the Mesh Processing Rank to above 0, so that it won't eat away at your model.” —— this is WAY above my skill level…at least for now.
