Im not entirely sure what you are asking about but I can assume you meant ZCODE -> STL.
Answer is simple - NO, its not possible and it wont be, ever. We have closed ecosystem from the beginning and as far as I know, we are going to stick to it. Thanks to that, we are able to achieve outstanding plug and play print quality.
You can just load any STL to Z-Suite and slice it with no support.
There are several posts on this forum from users that create support with other software like Meshmixer etc. and export the STL for further processing in Z-Suite.

At least give us an option to add remove or modify supports in z-suite. You know plug and play is good but we sometimes (me always) need more than this.
What I asked ( at least I tried...) was export from Simplify3D to STL to Zortrax and not zortrax to STL.
And Marcin I love my zortrax, but sometimes I need more
To be honest, I wont be much helpful with it since I've not worked with Simplify3D ever, but I imagine, exactly like stated above by Z-Renegade, its most likely possible. Just use Simplify3D to generate model with support, load it to Z-Suite and slice with 0* support angle.

Since you are not the first user asking about it, I've already reported it to software department, but you should be aware its not up to me, really.
You are asking for trouble, any file you generate with support in a 3rd party program and then attempt to print using the Zortrax will not have the proper coding to know the difference between part and support such that any support will be fully bonded to the part and will be difficult to remove and damaging to part surfaces.
This is why there are settings for fan control (Auto) and the fact that the support and part layers are built individually thus allowing cooling where support to part separation is needed.
If you think about the coding or have observed many different types of printers as I have you would understand why these closed system printers know the difference between part and support and build them differently.
I've used both and I'm happy to stick with the Z-Suite hands down.
But the support removing option in Simplify is very handy, and would be an excellent option to add to Z-Suite. After all it can only result in a failed print if used too much, and can't harm the machine.
Having said all that, the blobbing and stringing as well as the bad bottom layer on 0.29 are getting really old now, and were only slightly improved with recent firmware/software updates.
Considering some of the amazing prints that were possible when the software/firmware was back in the beta stage, it might be worth looking at what's been done recently, possibly with the retraction speed and distance?
It would be good to move forward not sideways or even backwards with print quality.

I have seen good parts, easy removable support that was added outside of Z-Suite.
Parts that get post processed may even have no issues with support that has to be cut off with tools.
Breaking out of that eco system instead of telling what does not work inside it is innovation. :ph34r:
